Set Up SX II Connections
1. After you have installed the SX II at the rack, connect the
power cord(s) between the power connector on the SX II
and an external, AC or DC power source (depending on
your model).
2. You can connect the second power connector to a backup
power source.
Use the power cords that came with SX II.
3. Connect an external modem (optional). See Connect and
Enable Global Access to an External Modelin online help.
4. Connect your target devices or other serially managed
devices to the server ports on the SX II.
Use a standard Cat5 cable to connect your target device
to an available port on the back of SX II.
Note: Check the pin definition of the RJ45 port on the
target. It should match the pin definition on SX II.
Or
If needed, connect a Raritan Nulling Serial Adapter to the
serial port on your target, then plug a standard Cat5 cable
into the adapter. Connect the other end of the cable to an
available port on the back of SX II.
5. Flip the power switch(s) to turn SX II on.
6. Next, connect SX II to your network and configure your
network settings for the first time.
