Two modes of operation
This module operates in two modes.
•
Stack mode (default setting):
Used when the switch containing this module is connected to a
group of switches (or stack) via a Matrix Module. The two Stack
Interface Module (SIM) connectors enable the module to be inte-
grated into the group of switches (even a stack with redundancy).
The fiber optic SC connector provides the high-speed link between
the group of switches (or stack) and another stack or device.
•
Stand-alone mode:
Used to provide a high-speed link between the switch and another
device via the fiber optic SC connector.

General installation instructions are described in Chapter 1.
Installation restrictions
In a stack without redundancy, this module must not be installed in a
switch containing a Stack Interface Module, a 155 ATM Module, or an-
other 1000Base Module. In certain circumstances, this module can be
installed in the same switch as a Matrix Module. These circumstances
are described in the Matrix Module User Guide. The latest version is
