screen also displays the base unit identification, the number of units configured
in the stack, and the local unit stack number.

Identify Unit Numbers
Only appears when the switch is participating in a stack configuration. When
selected, this option identifies the unit numbering of each unit in a stack
configuration by lighting the corresponding number of Link LEDs for
approximately 10 seconds. For example, in a four-unit stack, unit 1 displays one
Link LED, unit 2 displays two Link LEDs, unit 3 displays three Link LEDs, and
unit 4 displays four Link LEDs. The LED display
temporarily
overrides any
existing Link LED indications on all unit LED display panels.

Only appears when the switch is participating in a stack configuration. Displays
the Renumber Stack Units screen (see “

This screen allows you to renumber the units at any time.

on page 3-74

and Cascade modules, that are configured in your standalone or stack
