3. Connect the other end of the Cat5 cable to one of the target device interface ports on
the rear of the appliance.
4. Turn off and turn on the target devices to the tiered appliance according to the
instructions that are included with that device.
5. Turn off and turn on the tiered appliance to enable its local port to recognize the
SAM.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for all tiered appliances that you want to attach to the switching
system.
The switching system will automatically merge the two appliances. All target devices that
are connected to the tiered appliance are included in the main appliance target device list
in the OSD interface. However, when an earlier-model appliance is connected to a PS/2
VM SAM, the list of appliances in the OSD interface will display both the primary
appliance port number, followed by a dash, and the secondary appliance port number. For
example, the Port column for a secondary earlier-model appliance might display 01-02,
where 01 is the primary port and 02 is the secondary port.
3.10 Setting up the appliance
With the appliance, you can auto detect and configure each port on the appliance. Chapter
4 provides detailed instructions on naming customization and OSD interface setup
and configuration.
