Switch Installation
Procedure
Step 1
Remove the dust covers from the StackWise cables and StackWise ports, and store them for future use.
Step 2
Connect the cable to the StackWise port on the switch rear panel. Align the connector and connect the StackWise
cable to the StackWise port on the switch rear panel and finger-tighten the screws (clockwise direction). Make
sure the Cisco logo is on the top side of the connector as shown in the figure.
Step 3
Connect the other end of the cable to the port on the other switch and finger-tighten the screws. Avoid
overtightening the screws.
