Complete the following steps to connect the servers:
1. Gather several of the C2T chaining cables.
Note: Your server comes with a short C2T chaining cable that can span
approximately 3 U’s, if needed. A longer C2T cable is available in the
C2T cable kit.
2. Connect the servers together:
a. Connect one end of the C2T chaining cable to the Console (Out) port of the
top server.
b. Connect the opposite end of the C2T chaining cable to the Console (In) port of
the server below it. Refer to the following illustration for additional
information.
c. Repeat these steps until all of the servers are connected together.
d. Connect the C2T device break out cable to the server 1 Console (Out) port.
Note: Server 1 (usually the server at the bottom of the rack) is the server to
which you connect the device break out cable.
3. Turn the servers on and check the operation of the monitor, pointing device, and
keyboard with each server. (See “Testing the C2T chain” on page 21 for testing
instructions.)
Note: Write-on adhesive labels have been provided so that you can label the server
