Removing and installing the StackWise cable can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert
the cable more often than is absolutely necessary (installing and removing it up to 200 times is
supported).
Caution
When you need to remove the StackWise cable from the connector, make sure to fully unscrew the correct
screws. When the connectors are not being used, replace the dust covers.
Connecting to the StackPower Ports
Before you begin
Before connecting the StackPower cables, review Planning a Switch Data Stack, on page 36. Always use a
Cisco-approved StackPower cable to connect the switches. To prevent misconfiguration, the StackPower ports
on the switch are keyed and have colored bands that match the keying and bands on the StackPower cable
connectors.
Procedure
Step 1 Remove the dust covers from the StackPower cable connectors.
