Combining Asset Sensors
Each tag port on the asset sensors corresponds to a rack unit and can
be used to locate the IT devices on a specific rack (or cabinet). For each
rack, you can attach asset sensors up to 64U long, consisting of one
MASTER and multiple SLAVE asset sensors. The difference between
the master and slave asset sensors is that the master asset sensor has
an RJ-45 connector while the slave one does not.
The following diagram illustrates some asset sensors. Note that Raritan
provides more types of asset sensors than the diagram.
Number
Item
8U MASTER asset sensor with 8 tag ports
8U SLAVE asset sensor with 8 tag ports
5U "ending" SLAVE asset sensor with 5
tag ports
Note: Unlike regular slave asset sensors, which have one DIN connector
respectively on either end, the ending slave asset sensor has one DIN
connector on only one end. An ending asset sensor is installed at the
end of the asset sensor assembly.
To assemble asset sensors:
1. Connect a MASTER asset sensor to an 8U SLAVE asset sensor.
 Plug the white male DIN connector of the slave asset sensor into
the white female DIN connector of the master asset sensor.
