Stacking Overview Each device can operate as a stand-alone device or can be a member in a stack. Up to eight devices are supported per stack. All stacks must have a Master unit, and may have a Master Backup unit, with any other devices connected to the stack as Members. Stacking PowerConnect 3500 Series Switches Each PowerConnect 3500 series stack contains a single Master unit, and may have a Master Backup unit, while the remaining units are considered stacking Members. PowerConnect 3500 series switches use the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports (G3 and G4) for stacking. This enables added stacking capabilities to the devices without adding additional device accessories. • To stack the devices together, insert a standard Category 5 cable into port G3 in the device at the top of the stack and into port G4 of the device immediately below it. • Repeat this process until all devices are connected. • Connect port G3 of the device at the bottom of stack to the port G4 of the device at the top of the stack.
