No. There's no need for it to be since the DEChub900 chassis has a built
in Management Agent Module. The MultiSwitch 600 isn't like our previous
stack of 90 modules.

Nope.

When attached to a Stack Director, you use the setup port to connect
to the Stack Director. You can then redirect to slot 1 to setup the
module in slot 1. (The Stack Director has no slot number.)

Not sure I understand your question. You can use all 12 ports in the bank,
either connected together and not connected to the backplane, or connected
together and connected to the backplane. It's not like a Switch port
where you can't connect anything to the front jack when the port is
directed to the backplane.

Standalone you don't need the interconnecting riser card. The riser
card is just used to extend the backplane up the stack. (Not sure I
really got this question.)
Have you checked out the NPB pages on the product. The tech manuals

I thought that 624T is composed from two repeaters:"A" group and "B" group,
and that "A" and "B" can be connected with only connecting both groups
into a same LAN in backplane.
So I worry whether each of 24 ports can do port-share between 2 groups
in stand alone stack.

Is this URL correct? I tried "http://npbwww.hpn.dec.com/html/info", I can't
access it.

The 624 is composed of at 12 port 10BaseT A group, a 12 port 10BaseT B group,
and an MMI port. Each group is fixed. Group A is composed of ports 1-12.
Group B is composed of ports 13-24. When standalone, you can have all ports
connected into one repeater domain, or two 12-port groups. I *think* you
can have the MMI port(s) separate, or connect them to group A or B when
standalone. (I'll have to double check this 'cause it seems to simple to
be true ;-)
