Chapter 3: Installation and Configuration
26
Plug the white male DIN connector of the slave asset sensor into
the white female DIN connector of the master asset sensor.
Make sure that the U-shaped sheet metal adjacent to the male
DIN connector is inserted into the rear slot of the master asset
sensor. It is recommended to screw up the U-shaped sheet metal
to reinforce the connection.
2. Connect another 8U slave asset sensor to the one being attached to
the master asset sensor in the same manner as Step 1.
3. Repeat Step 2 to connect more slave asset sensors. The maximum
length of the combined asset sensors can be 45U or 48U.
The final asset sensor can be 8U or 5U, depending on the height
of your rack.
4. Vertically attach the asset sensor assembly to the rack, next to the IT
equipment, making each tag port on the asset sensor horizontally
align with an IT device on the rack. The asset sensors are
automatically attracted to the rack because of magnetic stripes on the
back.
Connecting Asset Sensors to Dominion PX
You need both of asset sensors and asset tags for tracking IT devices.
Asset tags, which are affixed to IT devices, provide an ID for each IT
device, while the asset sensors transmit ID and positioning information to
the Dominion PX device.
To connect asset sensors to Dominion PX:
1. Affix an asset tag to each IT device through the tape on the tag's back.
2. Plug the connector on each asset tag into the corresponding tag port
on the asset sensor.
