Stacking Upgrade for the FastIron GS
This chapter describes how to upgrade your FastIron GS device to support the stacking features
introduced in IronWare software release 07.0.01.
To upgrade your device, you will need to replace the current 128 MB memory with 256 MB
memory, and install the stacking EEPROM. One upgrade kit also includes a CX4 module for units
that do not already have this module installed. Refer to “Upgrade kit contents” on page 47 for the
contents of each kit.
