Create an S-Series Stack

Stacking modules are pluggable units in the back of the unit that switch traffic between units in a stack.
Units are connected using bi-directional stacking cables; if you stacking modules have two ports, it does
not matter if you connect port A to B, or A to A, or B to B. Install stacking modules before powering the
unit. If you install a stacking module while the unit is online, FTOS does not register the new hardware; in
this case, you must reload the unit.
