Expansion Slot
The expansion slot on the AT-9424Ts, AT-9424Ts/XP, and AT-9448Ts/XP
Switches accommodates the optional AT-StackXG Stacking Module. The
module creates a stack of up to five or eight switches, depending on the
model. The switches of a stack function as a single, logical unit where
network functions, such as the spanning tree protocol and static port
trunks, can span across all the ports of the switches in the stack. This
increases network bandwidth and simplifies network management.
For further information and installation instructions, refer to the AT-9400
Stack Installation Guide.
Note
Do not install the AT-StackXG Stacking Module into a switch until
you have read the Software Release Notes included with the latest
release of the AT-S63 Management Software. This module may not
be appropriate for all network environments because a stack does
not support all the features of the AT-S63 Management Software.
