FEATURE 3: Asset Management
Both asset management strips and asset tags are required for SRC's
asset management feature.
Limitation: Do NOT connect door handles or SmartLock kit to
SRC while asset strips are being connected to SRC.
Introduction to Regular Asset Strips
Each tag port on the regular asset strips corresponds to a rack unit
and can be used to locate IT devices in a specific rack (or cabinet).
For each rack, you can attach asset strips up to 64U long, consisting
of one MASTER and multiple SLAVE asset strips.
The difference between the master and slave asset strips is that the
master asset strip has an RJ-45 connector while the slave does not.
The following diagram illustrates some asset strips. Note that
Raritan provides more types of asset strips than the diagram.
8U MASTER asset strip with 8 tag ports
8U SLAVE asset strip with 8 tag ports
5U "ending" SLAVE asset strip with 5 tag ports
Note: Unlike general slave asset strips, which have one DIN
connector respectively on either end, the ending slave asset strip
has one DIN connector on only one end. An ending asset strip is
installed at the end of the asset strip assembly.

Introduction to Asset Tags
You need both asset strips and asset tags for tracking IT devices.
Asset tags provide an ID number for each IT device. The asset tags
are adhered to an IT device at one end and plugged in to an asset
strip at the other.
The asset strip is connected to the SRC, and the asset tag transmits
the ID and positioning information to the asset strip.
The following diagram illustrates an asset tag. Note that there are
two types of asset tags: non-programmable and programmable
tags. The only difference is that programmable asset tags allow you
to customize each tag's ID or barcode number while
non-programmable ones have factory default ID or barcode
numbers, which you cannot change.
A
Barcode (ID number), which is available on either end of
the "non-programmable" asset tag
Tag connector
Adhesive area with the tape
Note: The barcode of each "non-programmable" asset tag is unique
and is displayed in the SRC device's web interface for identification.

Assembling Regular Asset Strips
Before connecting regular asset strips to the SRC, you must
assemble them.
To assemble regular asset strips:
1. Connect all regular asset strips up to 64U. For detailed
information, refer to the user documentation accompanying
Raritan asset strips.
a. The MASTER asset strip is installed as the first one in the
asset strip assembly.
b. All SLAVE asset strips are connected following the MASTER
asset strip.
