If the stack has formed then only one switch needs to be connected, if they haven't completed the stacking process yet, both need to be connected.

I would recommend bringing them online individually first, ensure they have been upgraded, and then stack them.

Expect the first time boot, coming online in the dashboard and firmware upgrade to take the better part of 20-30 minutes.

i think also that you need to connect  both switches to be online even after the stack  to avoid failure senario for the connected one

It is common good practice to have two switches per stack connected, if the upstream device is an MX, only one will transmit at once, but it does provide failover.
