For extra joy, make sure you set its stack member ID to match the failed one.
That way the config that gets placed on the unit should match the config from
the failed unit, rather than it being assigned a new ID.

Do this before you plug it into the stack, or it'll get a new ID, the config
will be updated with even more ports, and you'll be left scratching your head
for a few minutes. :)

Uhm, I think it also inherits the SDM template from the master, but just to be
on the safe side "show sdm prefer" on the stack and make sure your new switch
matches that? (I -think- the SDM template only matters on aggregate switches
entering non-aggregate switch stacks; just keep it in mind if you see weird
stuff.)
