Add a Powerstrip Connected to an SX 3.1 Device

The procedure for adding a powerstrip connected to an SX 3.1 device varies, based on whether the SX 3.1 device has been added to CC-SG.

If the PowerStrip is connected to the SX 3.1 device and the device has not yet been added to CC-SG:

1. Add the SX 3.1 device to CC-SG. See Add a KVM or Serial Device.
2. CCSG detects the PowerStrip and adds it automatically. The PowerStrip will appear in the Devices tab beneath the SX 3.1 device to which it is connected.

If the SX 3.1 device has already been added to CC-SG and the PowerStrip is connected to the device later:

1. Add the SX 3.1 device to CC-SG. See Add a KVM or Serial Device.
2. Configure the ports of the SX 3.1 device. See Configuring Ports.
3. In the Devices tab, select the SX 3.1 device to which the PowerStrip is connected.
4. Click the + next to the device icon to expand the list of ports.
5. Right-click the SX 3.1 port to which the PowerStrip is connected, and select Add Powerstrip from the pop-up menu.
6. Enter the number of outlets that the PowerStrip contains, and then click OK.

Next Steps:

1. Configure outlets. See Configuring Outlets on a PowerStrip.
2. Associate each outlet with the node that it powers. See Interfaces for Managed Powerstrip Connections.
