How to Install Multiple Management Cards
Overview
When installing more than one management card, such as the Network Management
Card 2 (NMC 2), the Out of Band Management Card, etc., you must install the cards
in the order described in this document. This is because they share a serial link with
the UPS. Installing the cards in any other order might result in operational failure.
Before you start
The following table identifies the priority of the cards you will be installing.
Management cards that have more control over the UPS have higher priority.
• Level 6: Exerts total control
• Level 5: Exerts wide, but not total, control
• Level 4: Exerts limited control
• Level 3: Passes commands to the UPS
• Level 2: Exerts no control
