If the attachment ports are not currently configured as B/A, configure the attachment ports to be B/A by invoking the set attach command. 2. Reset the hub. This step is unnecessary if the attachment ports are already set as B/A. 3. Install two cascade connectors. Insert one cascade connector in each of the two leftmost ports of the STP module in slot 1. 4. Attach the appropriate cables to the two cascade connectors. The cable from port number 1 (the B port) should attach to port A on the device to be dual attached. The cable from port number 2 (the A port) should attach to port B on the device.

command.
2.
Reset the hub.
This step is unnecessary if the attachment ports are already set as B/A.

Insert one cascade connector in each of the two leftmost ports of the STP
module in slot 1.
4.
Attach the appropriate cables to the two cascade connectors.
The cable from port number 1 (the B port) should attach to port A on the
device to be dual attached.
The cable from port number 2 (the A port)
should attach to port B on the device.
