Bringing your Stack Online
MS210 switches can be connected in a physical stack using dedicated stacking ports and cables. Configuration steps
and additional information about stacking can be found here.
Mounting hardware
The mounting hardware includes a rack mount kit for standard 1U racks. When installing the device, make sure that
there is sufficient space between the rear of the rack and other obstacles to ensure adequate airflow.
Optional Mid-Mount bracket
MS210 48 port models are designed for an optional MA-MNT-MID-1 mid-mount bracket when using 2-post racks.
The MS210 and MS225 series switches additionally support cross-model stacking, meaning an MS210 can be
stacked with an MS225 and vice-versa.
