Interconnect bay crosslinks
Interconnect bay crosslinks are wired between adjacent interconnect bay pairs as indicated by the arrows in Figure 2-4. These
signals can be enabled to provide module-to-module connections, such as Ethernet crosslink ports between matching switches,
or to provide stacking links for Virtual Connect modules. The Onboard Administrator disables the interconnect bay crosslinks in
instances where they cannot be used, for example, if two different modules reside in adjacent horizontal interconnect bays.
