Task Overview
To convert a rack with standard SYSTIMAX 360 PATCHMAX
Modular Panels to SYSTIMAX 360 iPatch Panels for use with an
iPatch System, you must perform the following tasks:
Task 1. Mount a panel bus for the rack.
Task 2. Install an iPatch Manager to supervise the rack.
Task 3. Install the iPatch Ready Upgrade Modules.
Task 4. Program the order of the panels in the rack.
Task 1. Mount the Panel Bus
A panel bus must be installed on each rack where you plan to
upgrade panels. The panel bus allows the iPatch Manager and
iPatch Panels to communicate. Also, the iPatch Manager supplies
power to the iPatch Panels through the panel bus.
The panel bus must be installed to the left on the rack (viewed from
the front). The preferred location is the back corner of the rack's left
rail. The area where the panel bus will be mounted must be free of
protrusions, such as threaded inserts, nuts, and bolts.
Note: To mount the panel bus on a rack other than a 7-foot rack or
on a rack with a hole pattern other than the universal hole pattern,
contact your SYSTIMAX Solutions local account representative.
For instructions to install the panel bus for the rack, see the
