Start with the management unit, then the standby, then each of the members in order of their
assigned stack number (or the position in the stack you want each unit to take).
Allow each unit to completely boot, and verify that the stack manager detects the unit, then power
the next unit.

• Configure the stack groups on unit 2: stack-unit 2 stack-group 14 and stack-unit 2
stack-group 15
• Configure the stack groups on unit 3: stack-unit 3 stack-group 12 and stack-unit 3
stack-group 13
• Configure the stack groups on unit 4: stack-unit 4 stack-group 13 and stack-unit 4
stack-group 31
• Configure the final stack-group on unit 1 to complete the stack: stack-unit 1 stack-group 31
