Disconnecting The Network Cables - Allied Telesis AT-9424Ts Installation Manual

Disconnecting the Network Cables

If the switches of the planned stack were used as stand-alone devices in
your network, label and disconnect all of the network cables from their
ports. You will reconnect the cables after the stack is created and after you
have reestablished the switches' configuration settings. If you leave the
cables connected to the ports during the installation, loops might result in
your network topology and that could produce broadcast storms.
