2-24 Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure
3. Plug the data cable into the Uplink data connector on the primary
CBS.
Connecting Secondary CBSs
Follow these steps to connect the secondary CBSs:
1. Cut a length of data cable that is long enough to reach from one
CBS to the next CBS.
2. On each end of the data cable, install the wires into an RJ45
connector as shown in the previous illustration and then crimp the
connector onto the cable.
3. Plug the RJ45 connector into data connector 1, 2, 3, or 4 and into the
Uplink data connector of the next CBS.
4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 until all secondary CBSs are linked by a data
cable.
Connecting Power Supply Cables
Refer to the illustrations in the “CBS Power Supply Cable Connections”
section. Power supply cable routing is store dependent. The power
connector provides flexibility to connect additional CBSs in series from
one CBS to another or in parallel from a CBS to four other CBSs.
Connecting CBS Power Supplies to AC Power
Place the CBS power supplies with the host computer system, if
possible. Plug all power supplies into a common power strip so that
they can be powered on and off at the same time for reset purposes.
AC main power strips must have an indicator light to prevent
confusion about whether the system is currently powered on or off.
DO NOT remove power by unplugging the +48 VDC plug from the
power supply or the CBS as this may cause damage to the CBS.
