NOTICE
Risk of duplicate node ID’s if two or more Liebert IntelliSlot cards are installed. Can cause
network conflicts.
An internal networking conflict may occur within a device when multiple communication
cards with duplicate Node IDs are installed in the device.
Each Liebert IntelliSlot card must have a unique node ID. This will not be a problem if only
one card is installed on your system. Duplicate node ID’s are easily averted with the
procedure detailed in
2.4 - Installing Multiple Liebert IntelliSlot Unity Cards in a
System
.
2.1
Installing the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity Card
The Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card may be installed at the factory or field-installed. To perform a
field-installation:
1. Find the Liebert IntelliSlot bay on your Liebert equipment—It may have a plastic cover.
2. Insert the card into the Liebert IntelliSlot bay.
3. Secure the card with the screws supplied with the cover plate.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to the card’s Ethernet RJ-45 port for IP communication interfaces.
5. Connect a serial cable to the card’s 485 RJ-45 port for RS-485 communication interfaces (see
2.1.3 - Connect an RS-485 Serial Cable
.
2.1.1 Assigning the Card’s IP Address
DHCP
The Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card is factory-configured for DHCP. If you require a Static or BootP
network configuration, be sure to change the Boot Mode as described in
Static IP on page 6
.
Connect an RJ-45 cable to the card and it will receive an IP address from the DHCP server. Contact
the DHCP administrator to obtain the IP address using the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card’s MAC
address. The MAC address is printed on the card’s faceplate.
If the DHCP administrator is not available or there is no way of
determining the IP address assigned by the DHCP server, use a
computer with a direct Ethernet connection to the Liebert
IntelliSlot Unity card, and the Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address
convention described in
2.1.2 - Connect an Ethernet Cable
to
access the card’s Web page and configure the card. To see the card’s
last DHCP-assigned IP address, click on the Unity Tab, then on
the left side menu select
Support > Active Networking
. The
table of information will show the last IP address assigned by the
DHCP server. The card may retain that IP address when it
reconnects to the DHCP network because most DHCP systems
reuse the same IP address for the same device.
!
WARNING
Risk of improper installation. Can cause equipment damage, injury and death.
Only a properly trained and qualified service professional should install these products.

NOTE
The card will only fit one way in the Liebert IntelliSlot bay because the circuit board is not
centered on the faceplate. The slot in the Liebert IntelliSlot bay also is not centered.
