2.5 Cascading Switches
In a cascaded configuration, multiple Fujitsuswitches are connected to one
another via CAT5 cable and managed by a single primary switch. The s3-
0801/1601 switch can serve as either the primary or secondary switch in a
cascaded configuration.
To cascade multiple switches if the secondary switch has an ACI port:
1. Using an appropriate length of CAT 5 cable, connect the ACI port on the
secondary switch to an available port on the primary switch.
2. Repeat step 1 for all additional cascaded switches.
To cascade multiple switches if the secondary switch does not have an ACI
port:
1. Connect a KVM-IAmodule to the local peripheral ports on the secondary
switch.
2. Using an appropriate length of CAT 5 cable, connect the KVM-IAmodule
from step 1 to an available port on the primary switch.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all additional cascaded switches.
4. Turn on the primary switch.
5. Turn on the cascaded switch.
6. Repeat step 5 for all additional cascaded switches.
The system will automatically “merge” the two switches together as one. All servers
connected to the cascaded switch will display on the main switch server list in the
graphical interface.
