Renumbering causes the unit to reboot. The stack-unit default for all new units is stack-unit 0.
4. Configure the switch priority for each unit to make management unit selection deterministic.
CONFIGURATION mode

5. Assign a stack group for each unit.
CONFIGURATION mode

The range is from 0 to 15.
6. Connect the units using stacking cables.

7. Reload the stack one unit at a time.
EXEC Privilege mode

assigned stack number (or the position in the stack you want each unit to take).
Allow each unit to completely boot, and verify that the stack manager detects the unit, then power
the next unit.
