Chapter 1 Switch Installation
Installing the Power Cord Retainer (Optional)
Step 2 Insert one end of the FlexStack cable into the stack port of the first switch. Insert the other end of the
cable into the stack port on the other switch. Make sure you insert the cables in completely until you feel
them snap into place.
Note When you connect the FlexStack cable to the STACK 1 port, the tab should be above the connector. When
you connect the FlexStack cable to the STACK 2 port, the tab should be below the connector.
To remove a FlexStack cable, grasp the tab on the cable connector and gently pull straight out. When
you remove the FlexStack cables from the connectors, replace the dust covers to protect them from dust.
Caution Removing and installing the FlexStack cable can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert the
cable more often than is absolutely necessary.
Installing the Power Cord Retainer (Optional)
The power cord retainer part number (PWR-CLP=) is optional. You can order it when you order your
switch, or you can order it later from your Cisco representative.
Step 1 Choose the sleeve size of the power cord retainer based on the thickness of the cord. The smaller sleeve
can be snapped off and used for thin cords. See Figure 1-21.
Step 2 Slide the retainer around the AC power cord, and pass it around the loop on the switch. See Figure 1-18.
