Use the following recommended procedures when installing a new stackable system or adding a
new unit to an existing stack.
Installing a New Stackable System of Up to Eight Units
Use the following procedure for installing a new stack of up to eight units out of the box.
1. Before applying power, make all physical connections with the stack cables as described in the
SecureStack B2 Installation Guide.
2. Once all of the stack cables have been connected, individually power on each unit from top to
bottom.
3. (Optional) If desired, change the management unit using the set switch movemanagement
command as described in Section 2.1.10.8.
4. Once the desired master unit has been selected, reset the system using the reset command as
described in Section 2.1.19.1.
Important
The following procedures assume that all units have a clean configuration from manufacturing. When
adding a new unit to an already running stack, it is also assumed that the new unit is using the same
firmware image version as other units in the stack.
NOTES: Ensure that each device is fully operational before applying power to the next device.
Since unit IDs are assigned on a first-come-first-serve basis, this will ensure that unit IDs are
ordered sequentially.
Once unit IDs are assigned, they are persistent and will be retained during a power cycle to any
or all of the units.
