Warning
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special

The sequence in which the switches are first powered on might affect the switch that becomes the
stack master.
If you want a particular switch to be the stack master, power on that switch first. This switch
becomes the stack master and remains the stack master until a master re-election. After 2 minutes,
power on the other stack switches.
If you have no preference as to which switch becomes the stack master, power on all the switches in
the stack within a 1-minute timeframe. These switches participate in the stack master election.
Switches powered on after the 1-minute timeframe do not participate in the election.
Power off a switch before you add it to or remove it from an existing switch stack.
