Specific assignment of Display IDs. Follow the instructions below before powering up any of the Rack PDUs in the group.

If it is desired to have a specific assignment of Display IDs, this can be achieved by powering up the units for the first time in the desired order, 1 to 4. For example, before powering up any of the Rack PDUs connected in a group, determine the Display ID order that you would like. Then, first power up the unit that you would like to have Display ID 1. After that unit has initialized and the LCD has started displaying its screens, power on the unit that you would like to have Display ID 2. Continue in the same way for units 3 and 4, if applicable for your setup.

Note: The Display ID can be configured from the web interface via the "Device Manager > Load Management > device load > Display ID" field.
