called asset strips in the following sections.

Limitation: Do NOT connect door handles (or SmartLock

kit) to SRC while asset strips are being connected to SRC.

SRC Quick Setup Guide 5

SRC_QSG_0A_3.5.10_E 255-80-0063-00 RoHS

Introduction to Regular Asset Strips

Each tag port on the regular asset strips corresponds to a

rack unit and can be used to locate IT devices in a specific

rack (or cabinet).

For each rack, you can attach asset strips up to 64U long,

consisting of one MASTER and multiple SLAVE asset strips.

The difference between the master and slave asset strips is

that the master asset strip has an RJ-45 connector while the

slave does not.

The following diagram illustrates some asset strips. Note that

Raritan provides more types of asset strips than the diagram.

8U MASTER asset strip with 8 tag ports

8U SLAVE asset strip with 8 tag ports

5U "ending" SLAVE asset strip with 5 tag ports

Note: Unlike general slave asset strips, which have one DIN

connector respectively on either end, the ending slave asset

strip has one DIN connector on only one end. An ending asset

strip is installed at the end of the asset strip assembly.

QSRu le

Introduction to Asset Tags

You need both asset strips and asset tags for tracking IT

devices.

Asset tags provide an ID number for each IT device. The asset

tags are adhered to an IT device at one end and plugged in to

an asset strip at the other.

The asset strip is connected to the SRC, and the asset tag

transmits the ID and positioning information to the asset strip.

The following diagram illustrates an asset tag. Note that there

are two types of asset tags: non-programmable and

programmable tags. The only difference is that

programmable asset tags allow you to customize each tag's

ID or barcode number while non-programmable ones have

factory default ID or barcode numbers, which you cannot

change.

A Barcode (ID number), which is available on either

end of the "non-programmable" asset tag

B Tag connector

C Adhesive area with the tape

Note: The barcode of each "non-programmable" asset tag is

unique and is displayed in the SRC device's web interface for

identification.

QSRu le

Assembling Regular Asset Strips

Before connecting regular asset strips to the SRC, you must

assemble them.

To assemble regular asset strips:

1. Connect all regular asset strips up to 64U. For detailed

information, refer to the user documentation

accompanying Raritan asset strips.

a. The MASTER asset strip is installed as the first one in

the asset strip assembly.

b. All SLAVE asset strips are connected following the

MASTER asset strip.

c. The "ending" slave asset strip is installed as the final

one.

SRC Quick Setup Guide 6

SRC_QSG_0A_3.5.10_E 255-80-0063-00 RoHS

2. Vertically attach the asset strip assembly to the rack, next

to the IT equipment, making each tag port horizontally

align with a rack unit.

The asset strips are automatically attracted to the rack

because of magnetic stripes on the back.

QSRu le

Connecting Regular Asset Strips to SRC

SRC supports a cabling distance up to 10 meters for each

connected asset strip assembly.

To connect regular asset strips to SRC:

1. Affix the adhesive end of an asset tag to each IT device

through the tag's tape.

2. Plug the connector of each asset tag into the

corresponding tag port on the asset strip.

3. Connect the MASTER asset strip's RJ-45 connector to a

port labeled FEATURE on SRC, using a network patch

cable (CAT5e or higher).

(A) MASTER asset strip

(B) Asset tags

QSRu le

Other Types of Asset Strips

Raritan provides more types of asset strips than regular asset

strips, such as composite asset strips or blade extension

strips. For detailed information, refer to the user

documentation accompanying Raritan asset strips.

Composite asset strips:

A composite asset strip is named AMS-Mx-Z, where x is a

number, such as AMS-M2-Z or AMS-M3-Z.

A composite asset strip has two RJ-45 connectors but less

tag ports.

The composite asset strip is especially useful for tracking

large devices such as SAN boxes in the cabinet.

Composite asset strips can be daisy chained as shown

below.

Blade extension strips:

For blade servers, which are contained in a single chassis,

you can use a blade extension strip to track individual

blade servers.

A blade extension strip contains 4 to 16 tag ports. Below

shows a blade extension strip with 16 tag ports.

The blade extension strip is connected to a tag port on a

regular or composite asset strip via a Raritan's tag

connector cable.

QSRu le

Connecting SRC to Power

SRC supports redundant power with two inlets. See Product

Models.

SRC Quick Setup Guide 7

SRC_QSG_0A_3.5.10_E 255-80-0063-00 RoHS

You can connect only one or both inlets to proper power

sources.

1. Connect each SRC to an appropriately rated branch

circuit. Refer to the label or nameplate affixed to your SRC

for appropriate input ratings or range of ratings.

2. When a SRC powers up, it proceeds with the power-on self

test and software loading for a few moments.

3. When the software has completed loading, the front panel

display illuminates.

QSRu le

Connecting SRC to Your Network

SRC can be connected to a wired or wireless network.

To make a wired connection:

1. Connect a standard network patch cable to either or both

Ethernet ports on the SRC.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to your LAN.

Note: The "green" Ethernet port labeled "ETH 10/100/1000"

supports up to 1000 Mbps so it is highly recommended for

network connection. If connecting both ports to the LAN, you

must connect them to two "different" subnets. If you are not

sure whether the device is connected to the same or different

subnets, contact your IT department.

To make a wireless connection:

1. Connect an appropriate USB wireless LAN adapter to SRC.
