Connecting Power
When the stack is initially powered up, the software automatically assigns unit numbers to the units (the individual switches in the stack). The unit numbers correspond to the physical stack power up/initialization sequence, beginning with the base unit as unit 1.
The stack initialization sequence takes approximately 30 seconds for completion. If any switch in the stack configuration does not power up or initialize within 15 seconds, it is assigned a unit number that may be out of sequence with the stacking order.
If this happens, you can renumber the units when you perform the initial setup of the stack as described in the Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch guide.
Note: Bay Networks recommends that you connect all of the switch AC power cords to one or two AC power strips that can apply power to all of the switches simultaneously.
Power up the stack configuration as follows:
1.Plug the AC power cord, for each switch in the stack configuration, into the AC power receptacle on each switch back panel.
2.Plug the other ends of the AC power cords into a grounded AC power strip.
