Naming in this Quick Start This Quick Start covers two products:
•1000SX Module for 500 Series Switches
•1000LX Module for 500 Series Switches
To differentiate these modules from other modules in the text, we
shall refer to both these modules as ‘1000Base Module’.
Installing the module Follow these instructions to install a 1000Base Module in your Intel®
Express 500 Series Switch:
Warning These modules are not designed to be installed in, or
removed from, the switch while it is in operation. You
must turn off the switch before installing or removing
the module. Failure to do this may result in the module
not being able to communicate with the switch.
1Ensure that your working area is static-free before opening the
bag containing the module.
2Turn off the switch.

3Remove the plate covering expansion slot A, unless the switch
is in or to be used in a stack with redundancy.
Note For a stack with redundancy, install the module on the same
side of the switch as the Matrix Module it is to be connected
to. When possible, do not install the module in the same
switch as a Matrix Module. This prevents having a single
point of failure.
When using this module in stand-alone mode, do not install
it in the same switch as a Stack Interface Module, Matrix
Module or another 1000Base Module in stack mode.
4Insert the 1000Base Module into the slot. Place your thumbs
just beneath the screws on the front panel of the module and
push it in until it clicks. Secure the module using the retaining
screws.
5Turn on the switch.

To differentiate these modules from other modules in the text, we
shall refer to both these modules as ‘1000Base Module’.
When to use the module The 1000Base Module can only be used with Intel 500 Series Switch-
es. It provides a high-speed link between the switch or group of
switches containing this module and another device, switch or group
of switches.

Introduction
Two modes This module operates in two modes.
•Stack mode (default setting):
Used when the switch containing this module is connected to a
group of switches (or stack) via a Matrix Module. The two Stack
Interface Module (SIM) connectors enable the module to be inte-
grated into the group of switches (even a stack with redun-
dancy). The fiber optic SC connector provides the high-speed
link between the group of switches (or stack) and another stack
or device.
•Stand-alone mode:
Used to provide a high-speed link between the switch and
another device via the fiber optic SC connector.
Installing the module To install the module, follow the instructions in Chapter 1.

and connect the cables
Introduction The configuration and cabling of the 1000Base Module are very
closely linked. Only after both processes are complete will the switch
function properly.
Note When the module mode is changed, the configuration is
automatically saved and Intel®Device View resets the
switch.

Cabling the Module
Introduction The cable connections to the module depend on the mode in which
the module is to be used.
Stand-alone Mode
Cabling for a single switch Follow these instructions to provide a high-speed (1000Base-SX/
1000Base-LX) link between the switch containing the 1000Base
Module and another switch, device or group of switches:
Warning When used in stand-alone mode, this module must not
be installed in a switch containing a Stack Interface
Module, a Matrix Module or a 1000Base Module set in
stack mode.
1Plug the SC connectors on the optic fiber cable into the RX and
TX sockets on the 1000Base-SX/1000Base-LX connector.
2Plug the other end of the cable into a device and check the
LEDs on the 1000Base Module to verify the link. For informa-
tion on the LEDs, see Chapter 2.

Stack Mode
Cabling to a Matrix
Module in a group of
switches
The 1000Base Module is installed in a different switch from the Ma-
trix Module, so the cabling process is in two parts; the switch contain-
ing the 1000Base Module must be connected to the group, then the
high-speed link between this group and another group or device is es-
tablished.
1Plug the Stacking Cable (Intel Order Code: ES500SC) into the
Stack Interface Module connector on the 1000Base Module,
and secure it using the latches on the connector.
2Plug the other end of the Stacking Cable into the Matrix Mod-
ule, and secure it using the latches on the connector.
3Plug a second Stacking Cable into the 1000Base-SX/1000Base-
LX SIM connector on the 1000Base Module, and secure it
using the latches on the connector.
4Plug the other end of the Stacking Cable in to the Matrix Mod-
ule, and secure it using the latches on the connector.

Cabling to a Matrix
Module in a group of
switches with redundancy
To provide total redundancy for the high-speed link, two 1000Base
Modules are necessary. We recommend that you install these in dif-
ferent switches from the Matrix Modules.
Note Redundancy is not possible with the 510T.
1Connect the Matrix Modules to the Stack Interface Modules in
the primary and secondary switches as described in the Matrix
Module User Guide.
2Plug a Stacking Cable (Intel Order Code: ES500SC) into the
Stack Interface Module connector on the 1000Base Module,
and secure it using the latches on the connector.

ule (for example, both modules in slot B), and secured using the
latches on the connector.

Link Aggregation with Two Modules
Introduction Two modules installed in a stack can be link aggregrated to increase
bandwidth between this stack and another device or stack.
Prevent network loops Link aggregation must be configured in Intel Device View to prevent
a loop. When two modules are installed in a stack and connected to
another single device or stack (without redundancy or link aggrega-
tion), then a loop may be created. Note that even with spanning tree
enabled, a delay of 10 to 15 seconds may occur before the loop is dis-
covered.

Cabling to a Matrix
Module To accomplish successful link aggregation, the modules must be in-
stalled on the same side of separate switches (for example, both mod-
ules in Slot A).
Note The 1000Base-SX/1000Base-LX SIM connectors on the
1000Base Modules must be connected to ports 2 and 3 on
the Matrix Module for link aggregation to work.
1Connect the Stack Interface Module port on the 1000Base Mod-
ule to either ports 1, 4, 5, or 6. This connects the switch to the
stack.
2Plug a second Stacking Cable into the 1000Base-SX/1000Base-
LX SIM connector on the 1000Base Module, and secure it
using the latches on the connector.
3Plug the other end of the Stacking Cable into either port 2 or 3
on the Matrix Module.
