StackWise Plus Ports
The stacking-capable switches ship with a 1-meter Stackwise Plus cable that you can use to connect the
Stackwise Plus ports.
Caution Use only approved cables, and connect only to similar Cisco equipment. Equipment might be damaged
if connected to nonapproved Cisco cables or equipment.
You can order these StackWise Plus cables from your sales representative:
– CAB-STK-E-0.5M= (0.5-meter cable)
– CAB-STK-E-1M= (1-meter cable)
– CAB-STK-E-3M= (3-meter cable)
Power Connectors
The blade server chassis controls power to the switch. After the blade server software detects the
presence of the switch, it moves the switch to the full power state. The switch software is not involved
in power control functions.

from anywhere in your network through a web browser.
Follow these steps:
1. Launch a web browser on your PC or workstation.
2. Enter the switch IP address in the web browser, and press Enter. The device manager page appears.
