Chapter 8: Building the Stack with Gigabit or 5G Multi-speed Ports
170
Powering on the Stack
After configuring the master and member switches for copper Gigabit,
copper 5G Multi-speed, or Gigabit SFP ports as the trunk, you are ready to
cable the trunk ports and power on the stack. You can monitor the power-
on sequence by connecting a terminal or computer with a terminal
emulator program to the Console port on the master switch. The terminal
settings are listed in “Starting a Management Session” on page 138.
To power on the stack for the first time, perform the following procedure:
1. Verify that the master and member switches are powered off.
2. Cable the ports of the stack trunk on the switches. Refer to “Cabling
Copper Ports” on page 174 or “Installing SFP and SFP+ Transceivers”
on page 176 for trunks containing Gigabit SFP ports on x530-28GSX
Switches. For cabling examples, refer to “Stack Trunks of 1Gbps
Copper Ports” on page 72.
3. Power on the master switch.
Refer to “Power Specifications” on page 195 for the power
specifications of the switches.

4. Wait one minute for the master switch to start the AlliedWare Plus
software.
5. Power on the member switches either sequentially or simultaneously.
6. Wait one minute for the member switches to join the stack.
7. Go to “Verifying the Stack” on page 171.
