Hot Swap Cascade Units are for use with SuperStack II Port Switch Hubs. They
connect your cascade cables together, forming a resilient cascade, to which you
connect your Port Switch Hubs. You can add and remove hubs without affecting
stack performance, and if a hub fails, the cascade information continues to flow
between the other hubs.
The Hot Swap Cascade Unit is refered to as
‘cascade unit’
in this User Guide.
Assembling the Cascade Unit
The cascade unit is packaged with two long lockscrews. Push them through the
holes in the cascade unit (as shown below) until they lock in place.
