3. (Optional) Install the stacking module
NOTE: The 2930M switch stacking module is not hot-swappable. The switch must be powered off
before replacing the module.
If a 2930M switch is powered on for the first time without a stacking module installed, stacking is
disabled in the switch running configuration. If you later install the stacking module, it will not be
enabled until you either cycle the power to the switch or use the boot command to restart the switch.
Otherwise, stacking is disabled even though the stacking module is installed. For information on the
boot command, see the Basic Operation Guide for your switch model at https://www.hpe.com/
support/manuals.
1. Disconnect the switch from all power sources.
2. Remove the stacking module cover plate. Store it in a secure location. Reuse it if the stacking module is
removed from the switch in the future.
3. Install the stacking module.
