Chapter 2: Connecting External Equipment (Optional)
Connecting Blade Extension Strips
For blade servers, which are contained in a single chassis, you can use a
blade extension strip to track individual blade servers.
Raritan's blade extension strip functions similar to a Raritan asset strip
but requires a tag connector cable for connecting it to a tag port on the
regular or composite asset strip. A blade extension strip contains 4 to 16
tag ports.
The following diagrams illustrate a tag connector cable and a blade
extension strip with 16 tag ports.

Note: A tag connector cable has a unique barcode, which is displayed in
the BCM2 device's web interface for identifying each blade extension
strip where it is connected.
