Resolution: When the entire stack is reloaded, the recovered master switch becomes the master unit of the stack.
Stack Unit in Card-Problem State Due to Incorrect Dell Networking OS Version
Problem: A stack unit enters a Card-Problem state because the switch has a dierent Dell Networking OS version than the master
unit. The switch does not come online as a stack unit.
Resolution: The version mismatch case is taken cared of by rmware synchronization, which automatically upgrades the unit to the
required Dell Networking OS version. You do not have to manually upgrade the unit.
To verify that the problem has been resolved and the stacked switch is back online, use the show system brief command.
