Stacking PowerConnect 10G Switches: M8024-k, 8024, 8024F

Do not remove or re-route stacking cables until prompted in the last step below. Disconnect all other
links on the stack member to be removed and re-route the traffic that was going through this unit so it
now goes through the ports that were prepared on the remaining stack unit members.
Only after re-routing the traffic through the remaining stack units, remove both stacking cables from
the switch to be removed. Discard one of these two cables and connect the other to complete the
stack loop as shown in Figure 16.
