Two S60 Systems with 2-port, 12G Stacking Modules Connected in a Ring Topology 1-port, 24G stacking modules The 1-port, 24G stacking module requires the S60 systems be cabled across the front-ports-to-rear-port, or vice versa (Figure 3-4). To connect 1-port, 24G stacking modules, starting with the S60 at the bottom of the stack, follow these steps: Step Task 1 Insert one end of the first cable into Stack Port 48 (or 50). 2 Insert the other end of the cable into Stack Port 50 (or 48) of the top S60 system. 3 Insert the second cable into Stack Port 50 (or 48) of the middle and top S60 systems.

The second cable provides both backup connectivity and increased data transfer between the systems. 20 | Install the S60 System
