Overview
To prepare panels for use with an iPatch System, you must perform the following steps:
Step 1 – Mount a panel bus for the rack.
Step 2– Install an iPatch manager to supervise the rack.
Step 3– Connect each panel to the panel bus.
Step 4– Program the order of the panels in the rack.
Step 1 – Mount the Panel Bus
A panel bus must be installed on each rack where you plan to iPatch install panels. The panel bus allows
the iPatch Manager and iPatch panels to communicate. Also, the iPatch Manager supplies power to the
iPatch panels through the panel bus.
The panel bus must be installed to the left on the rack (viewed from the front). The preferred location is the
back corner of the rack’s left rail. The area where the panel bus will be mounted must be free of protrusions,
such as threaded inserts, nuts, and bolts.
To mount the panel bus on a rack other than a 7-foot (2.1m) rack or on a rack with a hole pattern other than
the universal hole pattern, contact your local account representative.
For instructions to install the panel bus for the rack, see the SYSTIMAX® iPatch System Panel Manager Guide
(860442573).

Step 2 – Install the iPatch Manager
An iPatch manager must be installed on each rack where you plan to install panels. The iPatch manager
supervises the iPatch panels in the rack and communicates with the iPatch System.
CommScope recommends mounting the panel manager in the 34th 1U slot up from the bottom of the rack so
that the top of the unit is about 65 inches (1.6m) above the floor. For instructions to install and configure the
panel manager, see the SYSTIMAX iPatch System Panel Manager Guide (860442573)
Step 3 – Connect Panels to the Panel Bus
To connect each panel to the panel bus, perform the following steps:
1. Position a cable retainer on the panel bus jumper
as shown (Figure 1) and remove the adhesive
backing from the cable retainer.
2. Connect the panel bus jumper to the nearest
connector on the panel bus, folding the jumper
as shown (Figure 2). Press the cable retainer
against the rack.
Note: The connector is keyed. The polarized tab
on the jumper connector fits into the
opening in the header connector on the
panel bus.
Important: For 48-port panels, connect both
panel bus jumpers.
Step 4 – Program the Order of Panels
To complete the installation, restore power to the panel manager for the rack and program the order of the
panels. For instructions, see the SYSTIMAX iPatch System Panel Manager Guide (860442573).
