RACKMOUNT REMOTE POWER MANAGER USER’S MANUAL
3.2 Connection to Switched Outlets
Connect the power cord from each switched device to a switched AC outlet on the
power manager. When power is applied to the power manager, the switched AC
outlets will be switched on. The power manager includes a power bus. The PS580A
bus supports a total of 15 amps; the PS581A bus supports a total of 10 amps.
3.3 COM/RS-232 Port Connection
The COM/RS-232 port is a male, DB9 connector, wired in a DTE configuration. In
the default state, the COM/RS-232 port is configured for 9600 bps, eight data bits,
one stop bit, and no parity. The COM/RS-232 port can be connected to either an
external modem or a local PC, but not to both items at the same time. Figure 3-1
shows the COM/RS-232 port interface.

It’s optional to connect both the network and console ports.
