Connecting Stacking Cables
To connect switches in a SummitStack configuration, use the appropriate stacking cables for the
specific stacking ports on the switches.
Connecting a SummitStack Cable to a Stacking Port
SummitStack cables are used to connect 20-Gbps SummitStack ports on the X460-G2 switch with the
SummitStack plug-in module.
To connect a SummitStack cable, follow these steps:
1 Align the cable connector with the stacking port connector on the rear of the first switch (see Figure
131).
2 Firmly press the cable connector into place on the mating stacking port connector.
3 Align and tighten the retaining screws on the cable connector.
4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 to connect the cable to the second switch.

Caution
Avoid making sharp bends in the cable. Sharp bends can stress the cable and cause
damage.

•
X460-G2 switch with VIM-2q module, which supports SummitStack-V160
•
