Introducing the XRN Interconnect Module Kit  
With an XRN Interconnect Module Kit (3C17715) you can  
interconnect two Switch units.  
The Interconnect Cable  
The Interconnect Cable is used to interconnect two Switch  
This kit contains:  
units, both fitted with Interconnect Modules.  
Two XRN Interconnect Modules (3C17716)  
The standard Interconnect Cable is 1 m (3.28 ft) long and  
color-coded with a yellow marker at one end and a blue  
marker at the other end.  
One standard XRN Interconnect Cable (3C17721)  
The Switches that support this module are:  
®
SuperStack 3 Switch 4900  
SuperStack 3 Switch 4900 SX  
SuperStack 3 Switch 4924  
SuperStack 3 Switch 4950  
The end of the Interconnect Cable that you connect to the  
Switch determines the identity of the Switch. The Switch  
that has the blue end of the cable connected to it will be  
Unit 1. The Switch that has the yellow end of the cable  
connected to it will be Unit 2.  
®
3Com Switch 4060  
The terms Unit 1 and Unit 2 are used simply to identify  
the Switch units for management purposes only.

Figure 1 The Interconnect Cable  
The Interconnect Module requires management software  
version 3.0 or later to be installed on the Switch. For  
instructions on upgrading the management software, refer  
to the documentation supplied with your Switch.  
You can gather information about the status of the  
Module and its packet activity using the Expansion Module

CAUTION: 3Com recommends that you do not connect or  
Interconnecting Two Switches  
disconnect the Interconnect Cable when the Switches are  
in use. If you do, the flow of data will be affected and  
your network configuration settings may change.  
To interconnect two Switches, you will need the XRN  
Interconnect Module Kit (part number 3C17715). This kit  
contains:  
!
Two XRN Interconnect Modules (3C17716)  
LED Function Tables  
One standard XRN Interconnect Cable (3C17721)  
You can gather information about the status of the  
Module and its packet activity using the Expansion Module  
LEDs on the front of the Switch (see Table 1) and the Port  
LEDs on the front panel of the Module (see Table 2).  
You can interconnect two Switch units that are located in  
separate racks with a 5 m (16.40 ft) long Interconnect  
cable (3C17722). Contact your network supplier for  
further information.

PROBLEM SOLVING  
If you suspect a problem, carry out these steps before  
Check that the correct management software is being  
used on the Switch.  
contacting your supplier:  
Check that the Interconnect Module is correctly  
installed in the Switch.  
If the Module Status LED on the front of the Switch is  
flashing yellow, the Module is installed but not  
supported by the Switch. The Switch will continue to  
operate normally but you must upgrade the  
management software on the Switch for it to recognize  
and support the Module and enable the Modules  
ports. You can download the latest version of the  
management software from the 3Com website at:  
When you insert the Module into the Switch, push the  
Module in until the Modules back plate is in full  
contact with the Switchs chassis. Secure the Module to  
the Switch by tightening the three captive screws fully  
with a screwdriver. If an error is indicated during the  
Power On Self Test, check that the module has been  
correctly inserted.  
Alternatively, if you received a CD-ROM with your  
Module, you can upgrade your Switch with the  
management software contained on the CD-ROM.  
Check that the Interconnect cabling is correctly  
connected and secured.  
.
Check that the Switch, into which the Interconnect  
Module is fitted, is powered-up.
