Received a bunch of boxes for Cisco 3850, which will be used to build a switch stack for high availability switching environment.
For 2960 series, there is previous post about it:

| Cisco Catalyst WS-C3850-48T-S and Components (Unboxed) |
 |
| Cisco Catalyst WS-C3850-48T-S and Components in the Boxes |
 |
| Cisco Catalyst WS-C3850-48T-S Back |
 |
| Cisco Catalyst WS-C3850-48T-S Front |
|
| Cisco Catalyst 3850 Plugged in Power Stack Cable and Data Stack Cable |
 |
| Cisco Catalyst 3850 10G Module (C3850-NM-2-10G) |
1. Connect Physical Power Stack Cables and Data Stack Cables:
Make sure you plug your Data Stack Cables into right direction. Other devices in your rack may block your view to see if you have fully plugged your data cables in.
2. Connect with just one power cable

Notes:
- Console Ports:The active console can be accessed via any of the console ports in the stack.
- Stack Member Priority: A higher priority value for a stack member increases the probability of it being elected active switch and retaining its stack member number. The priority value can be 1 to 15. The default priority value is 1. You can display the stack member priority value by using the show switch EXEC command.
- Active Switch Election: The active switch is elected or reelected based on one of these factors and in the order listed:
- The switch that is currently the active switch.
- The switch with the highest stack member priority value.
- The switch with the shortest start-up time.
- The switch with the lowest MAC address.
- Cisco recommends assigning the highest priority value to the switch that you prefer to be the active switch. This ensures that the switch is reelected as active switch if a reelection occurs.
- You can use the ACTV LED on the switch to see if the switch is the active switch.
-
Off The switch is not the active switch. Note For a standalone switch, this LED is off. Green The switch is the active switch. Amber Error during active switch election. Blinking green Switch is a standby member of a data stack and assumes active responsibilities if the current active switch fails.
