Chapter 4: Connecting External Equipment (Optional)29EMX2-111 ConnectionThe FEATURE port of EMX2-111 supports 5 volts of power only, whichis insufficient for connecting an asset sensor at a distance between 1and 10 meters. Therefore, the use of a Raritan X cable is required forEMX2-111 to connect an asset sensor whose cabling distance is over 1meter.To connect a regular asset sensor assembly to EMX2-111:1. Assemble regular asset sensors according to your needs. SeeCombining Regular Asset Sensors (on page 26).2. Affix the adhesive end of an asset tag to each IT device through thetag's tape. See Introduction to Asset Tags (on page 28).3. Plug the connector of each asset tag into the corresponding tag porton the asset sensor.Note: If an IT device occupies more than one rack unit in the rack, itis suggested to plug the asset tag into the lowest tag port. Forexample, if a device occupies the 5th and 6th rack units, plug theasset tag into the tag port matches the 5th rack unit.4. Connect the MASTER asset sensor's RJ-45 connector to the maleRJ-45 connector at the longer end of the Raritan X cable.5. Plug the male RJ-12 phone connector at the shorter end of the Xcable into the SENSOR port on the EMX2-111.
