jack is not used.

Expansion

The dual Expansion ports allow multiple iBootBars to be linked together and managed from a single point. The
expansion connector is 6 wire modular jack. iBootBars can be connected together in a daisy-chain or ring configuration.
Up to 16 iBootBars can be clustered together and managed from a single web page or console session. Use 6
conductor data cable to connect iBootBars for cluster configurations. Configuration settings determine whether the
iBootBar is the Master or Expansion.
