Raritan Computer 4.7 User Manual

 

The aim of the Main Units (such as P2-UMT1664“M”) and Stacking Units 
(such as P2-UMT1664“S”) is to allow users to build the Paragon system 
to include additional channel ports and the tiers up to three levels, so that 
more users and channels can be configured to control more servers. The 
system does not need to be over-redundant in accessibility, but 
administrators should consider the configurations illustrated in this 
chapter. In more complex stacked Paragon setups, there are important 
guidelines about legal and illegal device configurations that must be 
followed to ensure functionality.

When a change is made to a connected tiered device, we recommended 
that power to all devices is recycled, if possible. This includes the device 
where the connection is changed directly, as well as all devices below it 
in the system architecture. 

The sequence of power recycling should start from the HIGHEST tiered 
device and end with the Base Unit (first-tier Paragon switch). For 
example, in a “Single Base” configuration (only one Paragon switch as 
the Base Unit), if a connection change is made at a device on the third 
tier, the sequence of power recycling should be as follows: 

 

The third-tier device with the changed connection 

 

The second-tier device connected to the third-tier device 

 

The Base Unit
