Adding a new Cisco WS-3750-24P switch to a stack

I am preparing to add an additional WS-C3750-24P to an existing stack of 3 switches. I have already made sure the IOSes are the same version. On the stack, the show switch command shows this:

 

Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
----------------------------------------------------------
1 Member 001a.2fcd.3900 15 0 Ready
*2 Master 0017.5a48.8080 14 0 Ready
3 Member 001f.6df4.8a00 13 0 Ready
4 Member 0000.0000.0000 0 0 Provisioned

 

On the new switch, show switch gives this:

Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
----------------------------------------------------------
*4 Master 0016.46e7.5880 9 0 Ready

 

I am concerned about the Master status on the new switch. What do I need to do to ensure adding this switch goes smoothly without causing problems for the existing stack? I am experiencing some trepidation because I have not done this before and can't afford to break my network.
