Connecting One or More IPDUs to the AUX Port
You can daisy-chain any combination of AlterPath PM intelligent power
distribution units (IPDUs) to the AUX port with up to a total of 128 outlets.
Note: Do not plug the OnBoard into an IPDU that is connected to the
OnBoard’s AUX port.
The following figure shows an OnBoard from the back with an IPDU
connected to the AUX port and a second and third IPDU daisy-chained from
