2.
Connect a KCO to each server to be daisy-chained.
3.
Attach one end of a CAT 5 cable to the second RJ-45 connector on a KCO that is connected to
a server that is either already connected to an ARI port or daisy-chained.
4.
Attach the other end of the CAT 5 cable to the first RJ-45 connector on a KCO that is con-
nected to an additional server.
5.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all servers to be daisy-chained.
6.
When you reach the end of the chain, attach a terminator to the second RJ-45 connector on the
last KCO in the chain.
