1500 models HA and local switch

On the 1500 models, does HA mode require the local switch to be disabled as did the 700 models?

I've never heard of this requirement.
Can you elaborate more about what you're trying to do?

In the 700 series appliances, when enabling HA, the local switch must first be disabled.

(Cannot create a cluster while a switch, bridge, or monitor mode interface is enabled)

If a wifi is configured with access to the local networks (Ethernet), the wifi is disabled.

It is in the admin guide:

Configuration workflow:

Complete the First Time Configuration Wizard on both appliances. In the Local Network page of the wizard, clear the Enable switch on LAN ports checkbox.
