  • Page 47: Installing Cable Retention Clips On Outlets (Optional)

    Chapter 3: Installation and Configuration Installing Cable Retention Clips on Outlets (Optional) If your Dominion PX device is designed to use a cable retention clip, install the clip before connecting a power cord. A cable retention clip prevents the connected power cord from coming loose or falling off. The use of cable retention clips is highly recommended for regions with high seismic activities, and environments where shocks and vibrations are expected.

    Failure to follow installation and configuration instructions can result in false alarms or no alarms. Raritan makes no statement or claim that all third-party detectors/switches will work with DPX-CC2-TR. Connecting Third-Party Detectors/Switches to DPX-CC2-TR A DPX-CC2-TR unit provides two channels for connecting two third-party detectors/switches.
  • Page 51 Chapter 3: Installation and Configuration Note: Each button controls the spring of each corresponding termination point. 3. Fully insert each wire of both third-party detectors/switches into each termination point.  Plug both wires of a detector/switch into the two termination points to the left.
  • Page 52 Chapter 3: Installation and Configuration  Normally Open: The open status of the connected detector/switch is considered normal.  Normally Closed: The closed status of the connected detector/switch is considered normal.

  • Page 56: Connecting Asset Sensors To The Dominion Px

    Chapter 3: Installation and Configuration Connecting Asset Sensors to the Dominion PX You need both of asset sensors and asset tags for tracking IT devices. Asset tags, which are affixed to IT devices, provide an ID number for each IT device, while the asset sensors transmit ID numbers and positioning information to the connected Dominion PX device.
  • Page 57 Chapter 3: Installation and Configuration The Dominion PX device supplies power to the asset sensor assembly through the Category 5e/6 cable. All LEDs on the asset sensor assembly may cycle through different colors during the power-on process if the asset sensor's firmware is being upgraded by the Dominion PX device.

  • Page 58: Connecting 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. Raritan's blade extension strip functions similar to a Raritan asset sensor but requires a tag connector cable for connecting to a tag port on the regular asset sensor or AMS-M2-Z.
  • Page 59 Chapter 3: Installation and Configuration Note: Each tag pot on the blade extension strip is labeled a number, which is displayed as the slot number in the Dominion PX's web interface. To install a blade extension strip: 1. Connect the tag connector cable to the blade extension strip. ...
