Stack
Number of Hubs Allowed In the Stack
The maximum size of a hub stack is eight hubs. If more than eight hubs are in
the stack, management software (HP AdvanceStack Assistant and the ASCII
console) will disable ports on that hub. Also, the Extender Cable connection
on the ninth hub will be disabled, so that the ninth hub is not allowed to
communicate with the stack. No configuration will be possible on extra hubs
in a stack.
The ninth hub is the last hub powered on. Note that if all nine hubs are powered
on simultaneously, then any one of the nine hubs in the stack could be ignored.
Remove the ninth hub so that communication can resume between all of the
hubs.
This hub was powered on last. Ninth hub is not allowed to
