The following figure shows two daisy-chained Cyclades PDUs connected to serial port 2 on a
console server.
Figure 2.2: Example: Daisy-chained Cyclades PDUs
To daisy-chain Cyclades PDUs to the console server:
This procedure assumes that you have one Cyclades PM PDU connected to a serial port on the
console server.
NOTE: Daisy-chaining is not possible with SPC PDUs. ServerTech PDUs will allow only one level (Master and
Slave) of daisy chaining.
1. Connect one end of a UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors to the OUT port of the Cyclades PDU
connected to the serial port on the console server.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the IN port of the next Cyclades PDU.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have connected the desired number of Cyclades PDUs.
NOTE: If the outlet has been assigned a name, such as “myoutlet,” entering myoutlet is sufficient and no other
path name is needed.
