Preface
Congratulations on your purchase of the BayStack™ 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch,
part of the Nortel Networks
This guide describes the features, uses, and installation procedures for the
BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch (also referred to in this guide as the
“BayStack 410-24T switch” or the “switch”).
BayStack 410-24T switches include a dedicated Uplink/Expansion Module slot
for attaching optional media dependent adapters (MDAs) that support a range of
media types. Installation ins truct ions are included with each MDA (see your
Nortel Netwo r ks sales representative for ordering information).
™
BayStack Switch line of communications products.

For more information about the MDAs, refer to Appendix B, “
Media Dependent
Adapters.”
BayStack 410-24T switches provide Fail-Safe stackability when you install the
optional BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Module. Installation instructions are
included with each BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Module (see your Nortel
Networks sales representative for ordering information).
For more information about the BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Module, see “
Stack
Operation” on page 1-27.
