Section 7 – Daisy Chain Configuration
Daisy-Chain Overview
In daisy chain mode, up to four (4) PDUs can be connected via one (1) IP address. This
allows users to gather information and data on all daisy-chained PDUs from the master
PDU. The daisy chain functionality reduces network cost for PDUs. For example, a
standard network switch used in a data center may contain 24 ports. Without using the
daisy chain function, each port would supply network connection to one (1) PDU.
However, if using the daisy chain features, a typical network switch with 24 ports can
supply network connections for up to 96 PDUs.
Daisy-Chain Setup Connecting up to 4 PDUs of the same
SKU through a single IP address:
1. After the initial PDU is configured, connect an Ethernet cord from the RS485-2
port on the configured PDU to the RS485-1 port on the second PDU in the
daisy chain line.
2. Repeat step 2, connecting PDUs from the RS485-2 port to the RS485-1
port for up to 4 PDUs.
NOTE:
The total length of the Ethernet cords connecting the PDUs must be less than
15m (49 ft.).
3. Go to the Web interface (or management software) to manage and control the
PDUs in the daisy chain.
How to cable for daisy-chain:
1. Locate a CAT-5 cable. Connect one end of the cable to one PDU. Connect the
other end of the cable to the other PDUs. See Figure 3 for the location on the
front panel of each model type.
