Connecting Three S5000 Systems
To provide backup connectivity and increased data transfer between the systems, Dell EMC recommends inserting an additional cable
between the two units, in a second stacking port.
CAUTION:
The S5000 does not require special stacking cables. The cables used to connect 10GbE and 40GbE data ports
are sufficient.
NOTE: The port numbers in the following procedure are used as examples only.
1. Insert one end of the first cable into stack port 60 of chassis 1 (bottom).
2. Insert the other end of the cable into stack port 56 of chassis 2 (center).
3. Insert the second cable into stack port 60 of chassis 2 (center) and port 56 of chassis 3 (top).
4. Use the third cable to connect the top and bottom units by inserting one end of the cable into stack port 56 on chassis 1 (bottom) and
the other end of the cable into stack port 60 on chassis 3 (top).
