Stacking PowerConnect 3324/3348 PowerConnect 3324/3348 supports stacking up to six PowerConnect 3324/3348 devices or up to 192 Fast Ethernet ports and six Giga ports. Each PowerConnect 3324/3348 stack contains a single Master unit, while the remaining units are considered stacking members. All management is done through the Master unit. Both 24-port and 48-port devices can be included in the stack. To enable stacking, units must be stacked with a Stack Module connected to port G2 in the SFP slot. Connecting Stacking Cables 1 Place each device in the rack or on a flat surface. 2 Insert a stacking connector for each G2 port. USB Connector 3 Connect the Master unit lower RX stacking connector to the selected member upper TX port. 4 Connect the stack in a stacking ring topology, where stacking cables are connected from the lower RX stacking connector into the upper TX Stacking connector. 5 Ensure that the upper and lower stack members are connected via a stacking cable. The following figure depicts a correctly connected stack: NOTE: If the Stacking ring is not completed, the stack does not function. Installing the PowerConnect 3324/3348 Switch 33
