Cisco Meraki switch stack startup?

Hi, i'm going to be doing a job later on today that will involve racking and booting up 2 Meraki switches and then putting them into a switch stack with uplinks to the distribution layer.

Everything on the Merakis have been pre-configured in terms of thr DHCP reservation, access port VLANS, uplink ports both ends etc...

I'm just condering the process of whats best to get them on, on the dashboard and then in a stack. I have been thinking that i should put in the 2nd uplink after the first Meraki switch has come up, so do them separately, let them both pickup their DHCP addresses and then put in stacking cables. Maybe delete the portchannels as well both ends now and then once both switches have addresses, put in a stacking cable and create the port channels again?

Thanks all, I come from a Cisco IOS background for the most part, with a splash of Juniper to so i'm just wondering what the best way to go about this would be?
