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.
