3750X Stack-Power Questions

Gregor Blaj

Hey,

I have 2 questions regarding Stack-Power that I cannot find the answers too.

1. Does it matter in which direction the Stack-Power cable is connected? If there is a document on this I'd like to read it.

I have only 2 switches and 3 power supplies, the green end of the two cables is currently connected from the switch with 2 PSUs (the master switch in the stack) to the switch with 1 PSU. Regardless of which 2 power supplies I remove the stack remains running.

2. More of an annoyance than anything but my Power Stack is named 'Powerstack-2', while Powerstack-1 doesn't exist. Is there a way of renaming this?

Thanks for any help.

You have two switches:  A & B.  

 

So you connect A to port 1 and to B using port 2.  

 

From B, you connect port 1 and connect to A using port 1.  

Each switch has 2 different labels for the stack power ports on the back, 'S-PWR 1 XPS' and 'S-PWR 2'. Are you saying the cable should be as:

(Green end) Switch 1 'S-PWR 1 XPS' to (Yellow end) Switch 2 'S-PWR 2'

(Green end) Switch 2 'S-PWR 1 XPS' to (Yellow end) Switch 1 'S-PWR 2'

Surely this must be documented somewhere? I connected mine differently to this and everything seems to be working fine...
