Chapter Stackable Devices and Concepts 1 In this chapter •Stackable models 1 •Stack topologies 1 Stackable models A stack is a group of devices that are connected so that they operate as a single chassis. For detailed information about Dell stacking technology, and for a list of stackable models, refer to the PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration Guide. Stack topologies Stack technology supports linear and ring stack topologies. Although stackable units may be connected in a simple linear topology, Dell recommends a ring topology because it offers the best redundancy and the most resilient operation. Figure 1 shows a linear stack topology. Figure 2 shows a ring stack topology. These illustrations depict only one cabling configuration, but cabling methods may differ depending on requirements.
