Up to four IntraCore 8000 switches may be connected within a stack. In each 
of the different configurations, bandwidth increases to meet the growth of 
traffic.

Two Stack Configuration
If you wish to add a single switch to create a stack of two, take the following 
steps.

Mount the second switch in the rack above the first 
switch, or place it on top of the first switch.

Connect the 20-pin stacking cable provided by Asanté 
from the Stack Connector module on the back of the first 
switch to the Stack Connector module on the second 
switch.
K Note:  Do not use any cable but the IntraCore 8000 

stacking cable supplied with your unit. If you need 
additional cables, contact Asanté support (see Appen-
dix A, “Technical Support,” for details).

Three or Four Stack Configuration
Before stacking three or four IntraCore 8000 switches, you must obtain a 
Stack Matrix module from Asanté. IntraCore 8000 switches come equipped 
with a single-port Stack Connector module. On one of the switches, the 
Stack Connector module must be replaced with a 3-port Stack Matrix 
module.

To create a stack of three or four IntraCore 8000 switches, use the following 
procedure.

In the original switch (bottom), remove the (single-port) 
Stack Connector module from the back of the switch and 
replace it with a (3-port) Stack Matrix module.

Mount the other switches in the rack above the first one, 
or place them on top of the first switch.
