Assigning a New Base Unit to the Stack
To assign a new base unit to the stack, complete the following steps:
Note: Bay Networks recommends that you always configure the top unit in the stack as the base unit.
1.Set the Unit Select switch on the original base unit to the Off position.
See Figure 9 on page 20 for details about the Unit Select switch.
2.Set the Unit Select switch on the new base unit to the Base position.
3.Renumber the Stack.
See the Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch guide for detailed information on how to renumber the stack configuration.
