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 offline. 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 primary and the secondary management units, it is unaffected by
the split.
• If one of the new stacks receives only the primary management unit, that units remains the stack
manager, and FTOS elects a new secondary management unit.
• If one of the new stacks receives only the secondary management unit, it becomes the primary
management, and FTOS elects a new secondary management unit.
• If one of the new stacks receives neither the primary nor the secondary management unit, the stack is
reset so that a new election can take place.
