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. QS Rule 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. QS Rule 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.

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. QS Rule 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 (C) IT devices QS Rule 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. QS Rule Connecting SRC to Power SRC supports redundant power with two inlets. See Product Models.
