Connect Two S60 Systems

2-port, 12G Stacking Modules

As an option, when using the 2-port, 12G stacking modules, insert a second cable into the other open

stack ports (

Figure 3-4

). The second cable provides both backup connectivity and increased data transfer

between the systems.

To connect 2-port, 12G stacking modules, starting with the S60 at the bottom of the stack:

1-port, 24G stacking modules

The 1-port, 24G stacking module requires the S60 systems be cabled across the front-ports-to-rear-port,

or vice versa (
