Appendix A: Multiple Chassis Local Connect
Multi-chassis Extension Unit
SmartBits 600x/6000x Installation Guide | 101
You can connect up to an additional eight chassis to the Subordinate Extension Unit as
shown in Figure A-12.
Important: The example shown in Figure A-12 uses a 5-foot cable to connect the
Principle Extension Unit to the Subordinate Extension Unit. Subtract the length of this
cable from 50 to determine the maximum cable length allowed between chassis. In this
example, each cable connected from the Subordinate Extension Unit to the next chassis
can be any variable under 45 feet in length (50 - 5 = 45).
Figure A-12. Connecting Additional SmartBits Chassis to a Second Extension Unit
Continue adding extension units and chassis until you reach the desired number of chassis
that you want to synchronize (up to 512).
