12 Cyclades ACS 6000 Advanced Console Server Installation/Administration/User Guide
1. Connect one end of a UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors to the OUT port of the Cyclades PDU
connected to the serial port on the console server.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the IN port of the next Cyclades PDU.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have connected the desired number of Cyclades PDUs.
NOTE: For performance reasons, Avocent recommends connecting no more than 128 outlets per serial port.
NOTE: If the outlet has been assigned a name, such as “myoutlet,” entering myoutlet is sufficient and no other
path name is needed.
Power Configuration
The console server is supplied with single or dual AC or DC power supplies.
WARNING: Always execute the reboot command through the Web Manager or CLI under the Overview/Tools
node before power cycling the appliance. This will ensure that the reset doesn't occur while the file system in
Flash is being accessed and it helps avoiding Flash memory corruptions.
To configure AC power:
1. Make sure that the power switch on the console server is turned off.
2. Plug the power cable into the console server and into a power source.
3. Turn the console server on.
4. Turn on the power switches of the connected devices.
To configure DC power:
DC power is connected to DC-powered console servers by way of three wires: Return (RTN),
Ground (GND) and -48 VDC.
WARNING: It is critical that the power source supports the DC power requirements of your console server. Make
sure that your power source is the correct type and that your DC power cables are in good condition before
proceeding. Failure to do so could result in damage to the equipment or in personal injury.
The following diagram shows the connector configuration for connecting DC power. You may use
either a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.
