Im not sure if I have gone over this or not, but I thought Id run over how to configure a stack on a pair of Brocade FCX switches. That means using the two cables on the back on the 16G ports of the units. This below is the process I went through. This was a real live capture of what I did the other day when I put two of these together. The first FCX was already in place and I added a second FCX for redundancy.
CoreStack#config t
CoreStack(config)#stack enable
Enable stacking. This unit actively participates in stacking

CoreStack#Election, was alone --> active, ID=1, priority=128, total 2 u, active=u1
reset unit 2: diff bootup id=1
Unit 1 loses all neighbors.
Active unit 1 deletes u2 and its config because it is learned.

Detect stack unit 2 has different startup config flash, will synchronize it
Done hot swap: active controller unit 1 sets unit 2 to Ready.
Synchronize startup config to stack unit 2
Config changed due to add/del units. Do write mem if you want to keep it
Stack unit 2 Power supply 1 is up
