ProCurve Stack Management

Configuring Stack Management

If the desired Candidate has a Manager password, press the downarrow key to move the cursor to the Candidate Password field, then type the password.

If the desired Candidate does not have a password, go to step 6.

For status descriptions, see the table on page 8-47.
