D-Link DXS-3600-EM-STACK 2-Port 120G CXP Stacking Module

Build a Dedicated Stack of Compatible DXS-3600-32S Switches The DXS-3600-EM-STACK provides two CXP stacking ports for the DXS-3600-32S. It supports a dedicated physical stacking arrangement for compatible switches, helping a planned multi-switch deployment operate as a coordinated system. Designed for DXS-3600-32S only, this is a host-specific expansion module. It is installed in the supported expansion slot and works through the switch's hardware and software; it is not a standalone switch or a universal expansion card. Highlights Purpose-Built Connectivity 2 × 120 Gbps CXP stacking ports Designed for DXS-3600-32S only. A Planned Installation Uses the supported DXS-3600 expansion slot. Confirm the host hardware revision and firmware before installation. Complete the Connection Requires compatible CXP stacking cables and another correctly configured DXS-3600-32S stacking endpoint. Host switch and connection media are separate. Key Features Expand the Existing Chassis Use the available module slot to add the required connection type while retaining the compatible host switch. The module draws power and management from the host, keeping the added ports within the same installation rather than introducing a separate standalone device. Choose the Right Connection This module is not compatible with the DXS-3600-16S. The manufacturer specifies up to 480 Gbps bidirectional stacking bandwidth for the supported DXS-3600-32S architecture, rather than 480 Gbps on each individual port. Match the Host Before Installation Supported hosts are DXS-3600-32S only. Check the exact chassis, available expansion slot, hardware revision and firmware before ordering. Follow the host installation procedure and plan any required maintenance window; do not assume that a module can be installed during normal operation. Plan the Complete Link The connection also needs compatible CXP stacking cables and another correctly configured DXS-3600-32S stacking endpoint. Check the equipment at both ends and the cable route, including available rack space and cable handling, so the selected module serves a complete compatible link. Summary The DXS-3600-EM-STACK is a focused upgrade for DXS-3600-32S only. Its 2 × 120 gbps cxp stacking ports suit the stated connection task while retaining the existing compatible chassis. Confirm the host and required connection media before selecting it for a new link or an expansion project. Frequently Asked Questions Which Switches Can Use This Module?ExpandCollapse It is designed for DXS-3600-32S only. Confirm the exact host hardware revision, firmware and available expansion slot before ordering. It cannot be used in the DXS-3600-16S. Is This a Complete Standalone Switch?ExpandCollapse No. It is an expansion module that requires a compatible DXS-3600 host switch. It cannot operate on its own or be fitted to an unrelated switch family. What Else Is Required?ExpandCollapse You need a compatible host and compatible CXP stacking cables and another correctly configured DXS-3600-32S stacking endpoint. The host switch and connection media are separate items. Can I Install It Without Interrupting the Network?ExpandCollapse Follow the installation instructions for the exact host and module. Plan the maintenance procedure with the person responsible for the network rather than assuming live installation is supported. Is 480 Gbps the Speed of Each Port?ExpandCollapse This module is not compatible with the DXS-3600-16S. The manufacturer specifies up to 480 Gbps bidirectional stacking bandwidth for the supported DXS-3600-32S architecture, rather than 480 Gbps on each individual port. What Warranty Is Included?ExpandCollapse The warranty is 1 year. Read more
