DC-DC Converter Module
The DC-DC Converter Module for the non-PoE switches operates with the optional A
vaya
Ethernet Switch Power Supply Unit 15. The PoE switches do not require a DC-DC Converter
Module.
The 100 W DC-DC Converter Module provides a Plug and Play redundant power supply unit
for the Ethernet Routing Switch Series 4500 non-PoE switches. Contact your Avaya sales
representative to order the converter module.
For further information about the DC-DC converter module, see DC-DC Converter Module for
the BayStack 5000 Series Switch (215081-A).
Stacking capabilities
You
can use the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series switches in either of the following
configurations:
• stand-alone
• stack
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series switches have a built-in cascade port to stack
up to eight units. The cascade port provides an 40-Gigabit (Gb) cascading mechanism for the
stacks.
A stack can consist of any combination of Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series
switches.
Important:
All units in the stack must use the same software and diagnostic version.
To set up a stack, perform the following procedure.
1.
Power down all switches.
2. Set the Unit Select switch in the back of the non base units to the off position.
3. Set the Unit Select switch in the back of the base unit to base position.
4. Ensure all the cascade cables are properly connected and screwed into the unit.
5. Power up the stack.
Important:
In a mixed stack of A
vaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 switches, any switch
type can act as the base unit.
