3-meter StackWise cables.

Power On Sequence for Switch Stacks
Consider these guidelines before you power on the switches in a stack:
• The sequence in which the switches are first powered on might affect the switch that becomes the
stack master.
• If you want a particular switch to become the stack master, power on that switch first. This switch
becomes the stack master and remains the stack master until a master re-election is required. After
20 seconds, power on the remaining switches in the stack.
