Applying ISL Kit Labels
Locate the labels supplied in the interswitch link kit contents.
As you install each cable in the following sections, apply the appropriate label to each cable end.
NOTE: The labels for interlinking the switches use “A” to indicate rack 1 and “B” to indicate
rack 3. For example, an Ethernet cable label will read, “SW6600–24A port 22 TO SW6600–24B
port 22.”
