NOTE: The installation shows the PM PDU being connected with the RJ-45 to DB-9F adaptor that is shipped with
the product. If your unit does not have a DB-9M COM port, you may use a USB serial adaptor and connect to a USB
port when possible.
Daisy-chained configuration
In a daisy-chained configuration, multiple PM PDUs are connected to one another and managed
by a single main PM PDU. The PM PDUs are linked together with CAT 5 cables connected
through the PM PDU’s IN and OUT ports. Avocent PM PDUs can be daisy chained with
Cyclades™ PDUs.
NOTE: You cannot daisy chain an Avocent PM PDU from a Cyclades PDU.
You may manage a maximum of five PDUs or a maximum of 128 outlets by connecting
multiple PM PDUs to the main PM PDU. The following example shows two PM PDUs
operating in a daisy chained environment.
