4.7.3.1 Order of Management Peripheral Cards
Because UPS signals are passed between management peripherals, you must install
management peripheral cards in the correct order for them to work together properly. The card
slots are numbered 1 to 3, from left to right, as viewed from the rear of the chassis. The
following table lists the management peripheral cards, their priority, and proper position.
4.7.3.2 Installing Management Peripheral Cards
To install management peripherals, perform the following steps.
1) Make sure that the chassis is powered off.
2) Install management peripheral cards into the housings on the rear of the chassis. See the
instructions supplied with the cards and the table above.
3) If you are daisy-chaining other APC external management peripherals to the APC Silcon
Triple Chassis: Connect the UPS cable (supplied with the management peripheral) to the
Monitoring port of the chassis and to the “To UPS” port of the other management peripheral
(Share-UPS, MasterSwitch, etc.). See “Daisy-chaining the APC Silcon Triple Chassis”.
4) Power the APC Silcon Triple Chassis and all external management peripherals.
4.7.3.3 Daisy-chaining the APC Silcon Triple Chassis
If you need more than the three card slots available with the APC Silcon Triple Chassis, or if
you want to use other external management peripherals, you can daisy-chain external
management peripherals together, provided that the total amperage of all installed
management peripherals — cards and external — does not exceed the supplied amperage. (See
“Determining Power Requirements:”).
