Connecting with Nine or More Servers
You can add another server switch unit by connecting the dedicated connection cable (K410-119 (1A))
to each port of the server switch unit. Such the connection is called cascade connection. With nine
server switch units (maximum configuration) in cascade connection, you can select up to 64 servers.
In cascade connection, the installation area can be greatly reduced since it requires only one console.
The server switch unit with which the console is connected is called "master", and the ones connected
to each port of the master unit are called "slave".
A sample connection is shown below in which the server switch unit is installed on the rack and 15
servers are connected in cascade.
