SmartStack STS-LM Connectors and LEDs

The following tables describe the connectors and LEDs on the STS-LM front
panel.

Connecting the Stacker Link Cable

When connecting two or more stacker link modules together to form a stack, you
must use the proprietary 50-pin cable supplied with the module.

The SmartStack STS16-20D/STS16-20R switch can be configured in three
different ways to form a stack of switches:

Two of the SmartStack STS16-20RM family switches back-to-back via two
SmartStack STS-LM modules

Up to five SmartStack STS16-20RM family Switches via one SmartStack
STS-5SU Stack Link Module and up to four SmartStack STS-LM Modules.

Up to eight SmartStack STS16-20RM family Switches via one SmartStack
STS-8SU Stacker Unit and up to eight SmartStack STS-LM Modules.

When inserting the cable connector, keep the connector straight to minimize the
risk of bent or damaged pins.

Note:

Stacked SmartStack STS16-20RM family switches must all have the same

software version.
