Caution:
Read the mark for the port to be connected carefully to make sure it is the right port.
Note:
The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. Therefore, do not insert or
remove a serial interface cable from a PC that is connected to a switch with power. In
connecting a PC to the switch, first connect the DB-9 connector of the console cable to
the PC and then the RJ-45 connector to the switch. In disconnecting them, remove the
RJ-45 connector prior to the DB-9 connector.
3.5 Connecting and Removing Special Stack Interconnect
Cables
3.5.1 Special Stack Interconnect Cables
As shown in Figure 3-23, the special stack interconnect cables, 1.5 meters (59.1 in)
long, are used to connect fabric ports (1000Base-X SFP ports on the front panel) in an
intelligent resilient framework (IRF) consisting of multiple S3600 series.

In the case of stack connection, besides special stack interconnect cables, the
combination of SFP modules with cables or optical fibers is permissible. For the models
of SFP modules, see
Table 1-5.
