to join the stack as a member with the ID number 3.
9. If there is a forth switch, power it on and wait another two minutes for it
to join the stack as a member with the ID number 4.
At this point, the stack is operational.
The ID numbers are automatically stored in special files in the flash
memories of the switches and are retained by the devices even if you
reset or power cycle the stack.
To continue with the installation, go to “Starting a Local Management
Session” on page 150 and “Verifying the Stack” on page 153.
