For rack-mounted switch stacks connected to the XPS 2200, review this recommended sequence of
events:
– If you are using the XPS 2200, install the XPS first at the bottom of the stack. If needed, allow
one RU space between the XPS and the first switch above to provide room for cabling.
– Connect the 12-pin XPS cables to the XPS 2200.
– Rack-mount the switches. If you have the optional 1100-W power-supply module, first mount
the switch before installing the power-supply module.
Connect the XPS cable to the first switch above the XPS 2200. Connect the stack cables to the
–
first switch above the XPS.
Connect the XPS cable to the second switch above the XPS 2200. Connect the stack cables to
–
the next switch above the XPS.
Repeat until all switches are connected.
