Add new SG500 switch to existing stack

[CEDCDA]

Hi all,

I've some doubts and I want to be sure before operate.

My stack is composed of 3 switch (Chain - L3 - Native Stacking - auto unit id)

2x SG500-28-K9 V02 - FW 1.4.11.5

1x SG500-52-K9 V02 - FW 1.4.11.5

I want to insert a new member (SG500-28-K9 V02 - FW 1.4.11.5) in the middle of this chain.

Questions are:

1. Do I need to configure new switch (with L3 - Native Stacking settings - stack port assignment - unit id)  before adding to the chain or should it be at factory default state?
2. Does the stack reset and reconfigure itself as soon as I open the chain or do I need to make manual configurations for adding new member in stack?
3. Does original configuration will be lost adding new member in stack?

Thanks for you help

Best regards

AV
