to a new switchMatrix Module, a message informs that you must decide how to man- age the switch.

If you want to manage it separately, the installation is completed and the switch is displayed in the Intel Device View window. If you want to manage it as part of a stack, you have the opportunity to assign con- secutive IP addresses in the next dialog.

The Synchronization Wizard completes the installation. The com- plete stack, including the new switch, then appears in the Intel Device View window. The Synchronization wizard is described in detail in “Stack Synchronization Manager”, p. 106.
