Connect 2x Dell PowerConnect 6248s for iSCSI Stack or 10GBE

First off thanks for reading this...

Scenario -

I have 2 Dell PowerConnect 6248s.

They are going to be used for iSCSI traffic only and are connected to an Equallogic PS4110XV and PS4110E

I will have 5 host server (Dell R610s) with 2 Nics for iSCSI (One Port for each switch as per "Best Practice")

my question is in regards to Stacking or Linking the switches.

From reading the documentation it seems that using the stacking modules is the easiest and recommended solution. I have the stacking modules installed but I have no cables right now.

BUT I do have 10GBE Module Cards and TwinAX cable.

Can I use those modules to "Stack" the switches?

Will they act as one switch?

If so, How should I wire it up? XG1 on Switch 1 to SG2 on Switch 2 and Vice versa?

How would a sample config look?

I love you.. :)
