CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION 25
Installing a HubPac
Please use the Basic Installation instructions below to create the HubPack configuration that gives
users of up to 4 Paragon switching units the capability to access the same server(s).
Figure 29 Connecting a P2-UMT1664M to a HubPac
1. Power OFF each Paragon switching unit.
Note: Prior to installation all Paragon switching units and HubPac units must be powered
OFF. Servers and User Stations (USTs) to be connected can be in a powered ON state.
2. Connect one HubPac 5-port cluster to four Paragon matrix switches, creating a 1 server by 4
Paragon switching units configuration:
A. Attach a server, via CIM, to HubPac:
Note: Up to 8 servers can be connected to one HubPac. Each 5-port cluster on the HubPac
represents one server connection, with four associated HubPac user ports. Each HubPac
user port in a cluster can be attached to a separate Paragon switching unit, enabling users of
these attached Paragon switching units the capability to access the same server.
B. Connect a CIM to a server – see Appendix A: Specifications for specific instructions on
connecting different CIM types to a server.
C. Connect one end of a Category 5e UTP cable to RJ45 port on a CIM.
D. Connect the other end of cable to the RJ45 1-IN port on back of HubPac.
E. Power ON the server.
F. Repeat above steps to connect the remaining servers, connecting the Category 5e UTP
cable to the HubPac at the RJ45 2-IN, 3-IN, 4-IN, 5-IN, 6-IN, 7-IN, and 8-IN port for
each consecutive server (2 through 8) added.
3. Connect HubPac to each Paragon matrix switch by repeating all of the following steps for
each 5-port cluster on HubPac:
Note: There are 8 five-port clusters on the HubPac. For each cluster the number in front of
the RJ45 IN port represents the cluster number. For example, cluster 1’s first RJ45 port is 1
IN, cluster 2’s is 2 IN, etc. In the instructions below, “X” represents the cluster number (1
through 8).
