After configuring the master switch, do the following:
1. Power off the switch. For AC power supplies, disconnect the AC power
cords from the AC power sources. For DC power supplies, turn off the
ON/OFF switch on the power supplies or power off the DC power
circuits.
2. Configure the member switches. Refer to "Configuring the Member
Switches" on page 177.
3. After configuring the master switch and all member switches, build the
stack by cabling the trunk Gigabit ports on the switches. Refer to
"Cabling Copper Ports" on page 186 or "Installing SFP and SFP+
Transceivers" on page 188.
4. Power on the master and member switches of the stack. Refer to
"Powering on the Stack" on page 184.
5. Verify that the switches formed the stack by performing "Verifying the
Stack and Assigning Priority Numbers" on page 156.
6. Cable the networking ports. Refer to Chapter 14, "Cabling the
Networking Ports" on page 185.
