Note: As many as 512 computers can be controlled from the unit’s integrated console in a complete installation.
To set up a daisy-chained installation:
1. EnsurethatpowertoallthedevicestobeconnectedhasbeenturnedOFF.
2. Useadaisy-chaincable(describedintheCables section, page3)toconnecttheChain
