2. Vertically attach the asset strip assembly to the rack, next
to the IT equipment, making each tag port horizontally
align with a rack unit.
The asset strips are automatically attracted to the rack
because of magnetic stripes on the back.

Connecting Regular Asset Strips to SRC
SRC supports a cabling distance up to 10 meters for each
connected asset strip assembly.
To connect regular asset strips to SRC:
1. Affix the adhesive end of an asset tag to each IT device
through the tag's tape.
2. Plug the connector of each asset tag into the
corresponding tag port on the asset strip.
3. Connect the MASTER asset strip's RJ-45 connector to a
port labeled FEATURE on SRC, using a network patch
cable (CAT5e or higher).

strips. For detailed information, refer to the user
documentation accompanying Raritan asset strips.
Composite asset strips:
A composite asset strip is named AMS-Mx-Z, where x is a
number, such as AMS-M2-Z or AMS-M3-Z.
A composite asset strip has two RJ-45 connectors but less
tag ports.
The composite asset strip is especially useful for tracking
large devices such as SAN boxes in the cabinet.
Composite asset strips can be daisy chained as shown
below.
Blade extension strips:
For blade servers, which are contained in a single chassis,
you can use a blade extension strip to track individual
blade servers.
A blade extension strip contains 4 to 16 tag ports. Below
shows a blade extension strip with 16 tag ports.
The blade extension strip is connected to a tag port on a
regular or composite asset strip via a Raritan's tag
connector cable.
