Connecting One or More IPDUs to the AUX Port
You can daisy-chain any combination of Cyclades PM IPDUs to the AUX port with up to a total of
128 outlets.
This procedure requires the following cables:
• A straight
-through RJ-45 to RJ-45 CAT 5 or greater cable for connecting the IPDU to the SP
manager and another cable for each IPDU to be daisy
-chained
NOTE: Do not plug the SP manager into an IPDU that is connected to the SP manager’s AUX port.
To connect an IPDU to the AUX port:
1. Connect one end of the cable to the AUX port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the In port of the IPDU.
3. Configure the AUX port for Power Management. See To configure the AUX port for IPDU
power management: on page 70 for details about configuring the AUX port.
To daisy
-chain multiple IPDUs to the SP manager:
1. Connect one end of the cable to the Out port of an IPDU that is already connected to the
AUX port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the In port of the next IPDU.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have connected the desired number of IPDUs.
4. Configure the AUX port for power management. See Configuring the AUX Port on page 69
.
NOTE: Make sure that all daisy-chained IPDUs are running the same firmware version.
