Stacking
Overview
Each switch is a member in a stack, although the stack may consist of only a
single switch. Up to eight switches are supported per stack.
All stacks must have a Master unit, and may have a Master Backup unit. All
other switches are connected to the stack as members (slaves).
Stacking Switches
PowerConnect 5500 series switches use two HDMI 10G ports for stacking.
To connect the switches in the stack:
1 Insert one end of an HDMI cable into the left-hand HDMI port on the
switch at the top of the stack and the other end into the right-hand HDMI
port of the switch immediately below it.
2 Repeat this process until all switches are connected.
3 (Optional) Connect the left-hand HDMI port of the switch at the bottom
of the stack to the right-hand HDMI port of the switch at the top of the
stack. This step provides increased bandwidth and redundancy.
