CrossFire 8300/8301 Stacker Guide to Operation, DOC-7092 v. 1.0 4. Installation
Cabling a Stack
The next sections describe how to connect switches to the CrossFire 8300 Switch
Stacker to form a stack.
➽ ➽ ➽ ➽
Warning: If you plan to download software to a switch in the stack, download the
software to the switch before connecting it to the stack. If the switch is already part
of a stack, disconnect the stack port cable before downloading. Downloading
software (such as changing firmware levels) to an individual switch while it is part
of a stack may cause conflicts within the stack.
Connecting Switches to the Switch Stacker
Up to eight switches can be connected to a single CrossFire 8300 Switch Stacker.
This configuration requires a stacker link cable and an CrossFire 8630 Stacker Link
Module for each switch. The connection is made through one of the eight I/O stack
ports on the back panel of CrossFire 8300 to the I/O stack port on the CrossFire
8630 Stacker Link Module installed in the back panel of each switch.
All of the I/O ports feature SCSI-2 type connectors. A proprietary cable, the OC-
8231 Stacker Link Cable, is used to connect each switch to the switch stacker. Note
that the switches must be cabled to the switch stacker in a particular order for the
switch stack cable to reach all switches in the stack. Figure 6 shows how to cable
the stack.
Figure 4. Connecting the Stack Port Cable to Port 1 on the Switch Stacker
After mounting the switches and the switch stacker in a rack or cabinet, use the
following instructions to cable the units together:
1. Attach one end of the stack port cable to a port the CrossFire 8300 Switch
Stacker (see Figure 4). Either end of the cable can be used, and you do not need
to turn off the equipment. The port you choose determines the box number of
the switch in the stack.
➽ ➽ ➽ ➽
Caution:
To avoid bending pins, do not install the stack port cable connector at an
angle. Use extra care to insert the cable connector straight into the socket.
