Add a Unit to an Operating Stack You can add a new stack member to a stack as long as there are fewer than six units in the stack. These procedures assume the new unit is powered off until it is physically connected to the stack. Adding a powered-up standalone unit to an operational stack is similar to merging two operational stacks where the standalone unit is a stack of one unit.

Make sure that the redundant stack link is in place and functional. All stack members should be connected in a logical ring. 2. Optionally, use the manager to preconfigure the new unit. For more information, see Configure a Stack Member on page 89. 3. Disconnect the redundant stack cable that connects the last unit in the stack back up to the first unit in the stack at the new position in the ring where the new unit is to be inserted. 4. Connect this cable to the new unit, following the established order of connections. In other words, use the redundant stack cable to connect from the first switch in the stack to the last. 5. Power on the new unit. 6. Monitor the Basic Stack Status table on the Stack Configuration screen to make sure the new unit successfully joins the stack The new unit should always join as a stack member rather than a stack manager; the existing manager of the stack should not change. 85

Remove a Unit from the Stack

You do not need to power down the stack or any stack unit to remove a switch from the stack.



To remove a switch from the stack:

Make sure the redundant stack connection is in place and functional.

All stack members should be connected in a logical ring.

Disconnect the stacking cables from the unit to be removed.

Alternatively, you can reconfigure the stacking ports on the member as Ethernet ports,

and then reload the unit. For more information, see

Configure the Stacking Ports as

Ethernet Uplink Ports

on page 91

If the unit is not to be replaced, reconnect the stack cable from the stack member above to

the stack member below the unit being removed.

If desired, remove the unit from the configuration.

Add a Unit to an Operating Stack

You can add a new stack member to a stack as long as there are fewer than six units in the

stack. These procedures assume the new unit is powered off until it is physically connected

to the stack. Adding a powered-up standalone unit to an operational stack is similar to

merging two operational stacks where the standalone unit is a stack of one unit. For more

information, see

Merge Two Operational Stacks

on page 88.



To add a switch to a stack of switches while the stack is running:

Make sure that the redundant stack link is in place and functional.

All stack members should be connected in a logical ring.

Optionally, use the manager to preconfigure the new unit. For more information, see

Configure a Stack Member

on page 89.

Disconnect the redundant stack cable that connects the last unit in the stack back up to the

first unit in the stack at the new position in the ring where the new unit is to be inserted.

Connect this cable to the new unit, following the established order of connections.

In other words, use the redundant stack cable to connect from the first switch in the stack

to the last.

Power on the new unit.

Monitor the Basic Stack Status table on the Stack Configuration screen to make sure the

new unit successfully joins the stack

The new unit should always join as a stack member rather than a stack manager; the

existing manager of the stack should not change.
