locally or from the factory. The chassis data sheet lists the part number for a 6-foot
DB9 Female to DB9 Male serial extension cable. The connectors are a serial 9-pin D-
shell (EIA 574/232).

To Connect Chassis-to-Chassis ICIM IN and ICIM OUT Ports

1 Connect the serial extension cable from the ICIM OUT of the chassis containing
the ICIM to the ICIM IN connector of the second chassis.
2 Connect a serial extension cable from the ICIM OUT of the second chassis to the
ICIM IN of the third chassis.
3 Continue this daisy-chain connection until all chassis are connected.
4 Connect an ICIM OUT terminator, part number 4013014, to the ICIM OUT
connector on the last chassis in the daisy-chain connection. The ICIM OUT
terminator ships with the ICIM.
Important:
All chassis connected in the daisy-chain must be powered and have a fan tray

installed. A chassis connected in the daisy-chain that is not powered or has no
fan tray installed will cause faulty operation of the ICIM.
All chassis connected in this daisy-chain must have a unique chassis ID number.

If the ICIM OUT terminator that ships with the ICIM is not installed on the last

chassis of a daisy-chain connection, faulty communication with the ICIM may
occur.
