This is displayed on the front panel of the unit, as shown in Figure 5-2. The Unit ID of each unit can be either automatically assigned or manually assigned, as described in step 1 to step 4 below. To assign IDs to the units in the stack, do the following for each unit in the stack: 1 Connect the unit to the terminal. 48 Dell PowerConnect 55xx Systems User Guide
