Whether front cards and rear stack cards can be used together on S series fixed switches
140S5700-EI, S5710-LI, and S5700-C-SI series fixed switches have front and rear card slots. Font card slots can have 2-port or 4-port service interface cards installed. Rear card slots can have stack cards or extended channel cards installed.
The rules are as follows:
-- A 4-port ES5D000G4S01 or ES5D00G4SA01 GE front card and a 4-port ES5D000X4S01 10GE front card must be used with an ES5D00ETPB00 rear extended channel card; otherwise, only two ports on the 4-port front card can work.
-- If an ES5D000G4S01 or ES5D00G4SA01 front card is used with an ES5D00ETPC00 rear stack card on an S5700-EI, S5700-SI, or S5710-C-LI switch, only the first two ports on the front card can work when the switch is working normally. If the ES5D000X4S01 front card is used, only ports 1 and 3 are available.
--The ES5D00ETPB00 card used with the ES5D000X4S01 front card must have a PCB of version C.
-- The S5700-EI switch that uses the ES5D000X4S01 front card must have a PCB of version B or later (version C on S5700-52C-EI). You can run the display version command to check the PCB version of a switch.
