Introduction
With the 8271 Nways Matrix Stacking Switch Module
(02L0882) installed into your 8271 Nways Switch, you can
connect up to four Switches over high speed links, in a
single stack. This stack can then be managed as a single
unit with one IP address.
The Matrix Module can be installed into the following
models of 8271 Nways Ethernet LAN Switches:
■
8271 Nways Ethernet LAN Switch Models E12 and E24
■
8271 Nways Ethernet LAN Switch Models F12 and F24
A stack can consist of any combination of Switch Model
E12/E24 and Switch Model F12/F24 units.
You do not need a Matrix Module if you are connecting two
Switches back-to-back. You can connect two units using
the Matrix port located on the rear of the Switch and a
Switch Matrix Cable.
You can find more information on stacking units in the
user’s guide that accompanies your Switch.
Before Installation
ATTENTION:
Before installing the Matrix Module into a
Switch, you must disconnect the Switch from the mains
power supply.
For full safety instructions, refer to the appropriate Switch
User’s Guide.
DANGER:
SD21-0030.
Handling the Matrix Module
The Matrix Module can be easily damaged by electrostatic
discharge. To prevent damage, please observe the follow-
ing:
■
Do not remove the Matrix Module from its packaging
until you are ready to install it.
■
Do not touch any of the connectors or components on
the Matrix Module.
■
Handle the Matrix Module only by its edges and front
panel.
■
Always wear an anti-static wristband connected to a
suitable earth point.
■
Always transport or store the Module in appropriate
anti-static packaging.
