Connect the Stacking Cable to the Transceiver Ports
To connect the 0.5-meter Stacking Cable to the trans-
ceiver:
1. Press the cable connector into the transceiver
jack so that the connector snaps securely into
place.
2. Repeat step 1 for the Stacking Transceiver in the
other Switch 2424M at the other end of the cable.
Note: If you need a longer stacking connection, a 10-
meter cable has also been tested and verified. The
cable is AMP part number 627124-1.
As shown in the next illustration, either or both of the Gigabit Stacking
Module transceiver slots can be used for a stacking connection. The
switches at the top and bottom of the stack will have an unused transceiver
slot that can be used for fiber-optic connections to other devices.
Note: If the stack is connected to any other switches, the number of
switches in the stack must be reduced so that the total number of
interconnected switches is at most seven.
Stacking connections between the
Switch 2424M units.
Note that either transceiver slot in
the Gigabit Stacking Module can be
used for a stacking connection.
Each stacking connection requires
