Stacking the Switches (Optional)
You can stack up to nine switches by using the StackWise cables and ports to connect the switches (see
Figure D-2). Read the “Planning the Stack” section on page 2-7 before you stack your switches.
Figure D-2 Stacking the Switches
Step 1 Insert one end of the StackWise cable into the StackWise port at the back of a switch. See Figure D-3.
Note Always use a Cisco-approved StackWise cable to connect the switches.
Step 2 Use the window in the StackWise cable to align the connector correctly. Secure the screws tightly.
Step 3 Insert the other end of the cable into the connector of the other switch, and secure the screws tightly.
See the “Connecting StackWise Cable to StackWise Ports” section on page 2-30 for detailed installation
procedures on how to connect the switches in a stack.
