Placing power cords for the 5079 You need to provide the appropriate receptacles for the power cords shipped with your 5079. The usable length of the upper unit power cord is 4 ft. (1.2 m) shorter than the length of the lower unit power cord. Redundant links A redundant link is a secondary HSL connection that your system can use if the primary link experiences a failure.

If you have just one set of HSL connectors on your system unit, they are labeled A0 and A1. If you have more than one set of HSL connectors on your system unit, the first set is labeled A0 and A1. The remaining HSL connectors are labeled alphabetically.
Notes: 1. The graphics that follow designate the HSL connectors for the system unit as 0 and 1. These designations represent which set of connectors on your system unit the HSL loop is connected to (for example B0 and B1). 2.

Connecting your 5074 to the middle of a loop Use this procedure if you are connecting your 5074 to the middle of a loop. In other words, you are connecting your 5074 between two other expansion units. Refer to these expansion units as unit X and unit Y as is shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9.
Connecting your 5074 to the end of a loop Use this procedure to connect your 5074 in the last position in a loop of expansion units. In this procedure you will connect your 5074 between your system unit and the expansion unit which is currently in the last position. Refer the expansion unit which is currently in the last position as unit Y as is shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11.

Connecting your 5079 to another expansion unit This section contains instructions for connecting your 5079 expansion unit to a loop with other expansion units. You can only connect your 5079 with other expansion units that have HSL hardware. Your 5079 consists of two independent 5074 Expansion Units in a single frame. These procedures refer to the upper 5074 as 5079–002 and the lower 5074 as 5079–001.
