To chain servers together using UCO cables:
Figure 2.6: Chaining Servers Together with UCO Cables
1.
Locate the UCO cables and CAT 5 cabling for your RCM.
2.
Attach one end of the CAT 5 cabling that will run from your UCO to the
RCM to the RJ45 connector on the UCO cable.
3.
Connect the other end of the CAT 5 cable to an ARI port on the RCM.
4.
Attach the appropriately color-coded cable ends to the USB and monitor
ports on the first server you will be connecting to this RCM.
5.
Attach one end of the CAT 5 cabling that will connect the first two servers
to the second RJ45 connector on the UCO cable for Server 1.
6.
Attach the other end of this cable to the first RJ45 connector of the UCO
cable for Server 2.
7.
Repeat steps 4-6 for all servers you chain together.
8.
When you reach the end of the chain, attach a terminator to the second
RJ45 connector on the last UCO cable in the chain.
