I just added a 470 24 port switch to my existing 3 switch (450 series)
configuration, the three 450's continue to work ok but the 470 doies
not the Cas UP / Dn lights just blink all the time and they dont on
the others. All I did is reset my 470 to defaults and cascade connect
it. is that correct or do i do sonmething else?

There are something you should be aware.
1. Software version of 450 should be 4.5.0.6 or higher.
2. BayStack 450 can't be base unit in a mixed stack.
3. A mixed stack cannot contain both a BayStack 450 and a BayStack
470-48T unit.

the previous post is all true also, and forgot about all that myself.

Also, I have had more issues with a mixed stack.
I try and run pure stacks of same models these days.

That is called a hybrid configuration.

Need to make sure stack mode is set to hybrid.
Need to make sure all 450 and the 470 switch Software ISVN (not sure If
I have that right) is the same version number.
