Adding A New Member Switch - Allied Telesis AT-9424Ts Installation Manual

Adding a New Member Switch

1 Before a new switch is added to a
stack, you should first verify that the
addition of the new member will not
exceed the maximum permitted size
of a stack.
2 Install the AT-StackXG Stacking
Module in the new switch.
3 Install the power cord retaining clip.
4 If the switch is a stand-alone device in
your network, label and disconnect all
of the network cables from the ports.
5 Install the switch in the same
equipment rack as the stack.
6 Add a label to the front panel of the
switch or adjacent to it on the
equipment rack, with the unit's MAC
address, found on the back panel, and
the static ID number you intend to
assign it. This should be the next
available ID number in the stack. (If
you do not know the next available
stack ID number, start a local or
remote management session on the
stack and issue the SHOW STACK
command.)
7 Power on the switch.
8 Start a local management session on
the switch.
