Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Installing the Switch
Note Make sure that you power off the switches that you add to or remove from the switch stack.
After adding or removing stack members, make sure that the switch stack is operating at full bandwidth.
Press the Mode button on a stack member until the Stack mode LED is on. The last two right port LEDs
on all switches in the stack should be green. Depending on the switch model, the last two right ports are
10-Gigabit Ethernet ports or small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module ports (10/100/1000 ports). If one
or both of these LEDs are not green on any of the switches, the stack is not operating at full bandwidth.
If you remove powered-on members but do not want to partition the stack:
• Power off the switches in the newly created switch stacks.
• Reconnect them to the original switch stack through their stack ports.
• Power on the switches.

The illustrations shown in this section show the Catalyst 3650-48 PoE+ switch as an example. You can
install other Catalyst 3650 switches following the same procedures.
