Split an S-Series Stack

To split a stack, unplug the desired stacking cables.You may do this at any time, whether the stack is
powered or unpowered, and the units are online or of f line. Each portion of the split stack retains the startup
and running configuration of the original stack.
For a parent stack that is split into two child stacks, A and B, each with multiple units:
• If one of the new stacks receives the master and the standby management units, it is unaffected by the
split.
• If one of the new stacks receives only the master unit, that unit remains the stack manager, and FTOS
elects a new standby management unit.
• If one of the new stacks receives only the standby unit, it becomes the master unit of the new stack, and
FTOS elects a new standby unit.
• If one of the new stacks receives neither the master nor the standby management unit, the stack is reset
so that a new election can take place.
