T To Daisy-Chain AlterPath PMs to the
OnBoard
This procedure assumes that one AlterPath PM is connected to the AUX port
on the OnBoard. You need a straight-through RJ-45 to RJ-45 CAT5 or greater
cable for each AlterPath IPDU PM you will be connecting.
1. Connect one end of a CAT5 cable to the “Out” port of a AlterPath PM that
is already connected to the AUX port of a OnBoard.
2. Connect the other end of the CAT5 cable to the “In” port of the next
AlterPath PM.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until you have connected the desired number of
AlterPath PMs.
4. Configure the AUX port for Power Management.
See the AlterPath OnBoard Administrator’s Guide for details about
configuring the AUX port, and for how to make sure that all daisy-chained
PMs are running the same firmware version.
