Adding a Module to an Existing Fabric

Follow the guidelines described here to add a FM 2072 to an existing network. In preparation:
• Identify the numbers or order of the current fabric modules in the fabric, which module is #1, which is #2, and so on.
• The new fabric module being added to the fabric must be the highest-numbered fabric module.
