The new order is stored in the switch, so the order is maintained
regardless of where you manage them.
Color Code Matrix Ports
Purpose Enabling this tool colors the individual ports on the Matrix Module.
This simplifies the task of tracing cables, as the ports on the Stack In-
terface Modules become the same color as the port they are connected
to on the Matrix Module.
Color Coding Each Matrix port has a unique color:
• Port 1 – brown
• Port 2 – yellow
