  4. In the Edit Stack Member page, click + or - to add or remove the stack entry. A RUCKUS stack contains from two to 12 units configured in a ring or linear topology. The units in a stack are from the same model family; for example, a stack can be an ICX 7150 stack, an ICX 7250 stack, an ICX 7450 stack, an ICX 7650 stack, or an ICX 7850 stack.
    Note: From FI 09.0.00, the maximum stack size for ICX 7150 and ICX 7250 devices are limited to eight units in a stack.
