Chapter 4: Connecting External Equipment (Optional)26Combining Regular Asset SensorsEach tag port on the regular asset sensor corresponds to a rack unit andcan be used to locate IT devices in a specific rack (or cabinet).For each rack, you can attach asset sensors up to 64U long, consistingof one MASTER and multiple SLAVE asset sensors.The difference between the master and slave asset sensors is that themaster asset sensor has an RJ-45 connector while the slave does not.The following diagram illustrates some asset sensors. Note that Raritanprovides more types of asset sensors than the diagram.8U MASTER asset sensor with 8 tag ports8U SLAVE asset sensor with 8 tag ports5U "ending" SLAVE asset sensor with 5tag portsNote: Unlike general slave asset sensors, which have one DIN connectorrespectively on either end, the ending slave asset sensor has one DINconnector on only one end. An ending asset sensor is installed at theend of the asset sensor assembly.To assemble asset sensors:1. Connect a MASTER asset sensor to an 8U SLAVE asset sensor. Plug the white male DIN connector of the slave asset sensor intothe white female DIN connector of the master asset sensor.
