SmartStack STS16-20D/STS16-20R Token Ring Switches Installation and User Guide

Installation

The SmartStack STS16-20D/STS16-20R performs a diagnostic self-test during the 
power on cycle. From a management console, check that the switch lists the 
SmartStack STS-LM port along with the switch ports and that there are no error 
messages. The SmartStack STS-LM port will be listed as port 29.

If, after installation, there is poor system performance or the SmartStack STS-LM 
module does not work at all, remove the module and check for any damaged or bent 
connector pins. You may need a bright light to see inside the stacker slot to check 
for bent pins. Also, verify that the module is set firmly in place.
