Step 3. Stack Switches

You can connect up to six switches together through the XPAK ports using XPAK switch stacking cables. Stacking 
provides performance and fail-over while preserving ports for devices.

For a 2-switch stack, use two 3-inch stacking cables.

For a 3-switch stack, use two 3-inch stacking cables and one 9-inch stacking cable.

For a 4-switch stack, use three 3-inch stacking cables and three 9-inch stacking cables.

For a 5-switch stack, use four 3-inch stacking cables and six 9-inch stacking cables.

For a 6-switch stack, use two 3-inch stacking cables and six 9-inch stacking cables.

Remove the XPAK port covers according to the instructions provided with the stacking cables. Connect two, three, 
four, five, or six switches into stacks.
