AT-StackXG must be installed.

Preparation

Review the following information before installing a VCStack stacking
module:

The AT-StackXG and AT-x6EM/XS2 stacking modules are hardware
hot-swappable. You can install or replace a module while the switch is
powered on.

Caution

If the stacking module is added or replaced in an operating stack,
the stack topology may change and cause the stack to reboot and
interrupt network traffic.

The AT-StackXG and AT-x6EM/XS2 stacking modules are supported
in all x610 series products.

Note

Do not install an AT-StackXG or AT-x6EM/XS2 stacking module
until you have read the latest version of the AlliedWare Plus Release
Notes
and the x610 Series product documentation.
