Add, Remove, or Replace a Stack Member

Add Switches to an Operating Stack
1. Make sure the redundant stack connection is in place and functional. All stack members
should be connected in a logical ring.
2. Preconfigure the new switches, if desired.
3. Power off all new switches that will be joining the stack.
CAUTION:
If you cable one or more powered-on switches to the stack, the existing
stack and the new switches assume two stacks are merging. They elect a
single, new stack master, and you cannot specify which switch becomes
the new master. All stack members assume configuration based on the
new stack master. Stack members change their stack member numbers to
the lowest available numbers.
4. Install the new switches in the rack. This procedure assumes installation below the
bottom-most switch, or above the top-most switch.
5. Disconnect the redundant stack cable that connects the last switch in the stack back up to
the first switch in the stack at the position in the ring where the new switch is to be inserted.
Note: If you want to merge an operational stack into the this stack, add the
switches as a group by unplugging one stacking cable in the
operational stack and physically connecting all unpowered units at
that point.
