NOTE:

Your system has two custom cables—one that connects to the front of the server module to connect two USB devices and video, and a second

cable that connects to the KVM to provide two PS/2 connections and a video connection. The cables are not interchangeable. It is recommended that

you keep these custom cables available.

The switch module also provides an Analog Console Interface (ACI) port, which allows you to connect a server module via Cat5 cabling to an external device

such as the Dell 2161DS Digital console switch or Dell 180AS/2160AS analog console switches, without the need for a Server Interface Pod (SIP.)

NOTE:

Although the ACI port is an RJ-45 connector and uses Cat5 cabling, it is not an Ethernet network interface port. It is only used for connection to

external KVM switches with Analog Rack Interface (ARI) ports.

NOTE:

The ACI port can only be used to connect to ARI ports on Dell console switches. To connect to other types or brands of switches, including

Avocent switches, you must connect to the switch's PS2 and video ports using the proprietary dongle provided with that switch.

Avocent Digital Access KVM Switch Module

The optional Avocent Digital Access KVM switch module allows you to configure and manage the server modules through a single keyboard, monitor and

mouse. You select server modules using the On-Screen Configuration and Reporting (OSCAR) graphical user interface.

The Avocent Digital Access KVM switch module includes the following features:

Analog KVM switching

This switch can be used as an Analog switch, allowing local KVM switching through direct connect of a keyboard, monitor and mouse; or tiering into

external analog KVM switches. This switch uses the same OSCAR interface as the standard Avocent Analog KVM switch to switch between server

modules.

The Digital Access KVM switch provides a custom connector which brings out PS2/video ports. These ports can be directly connected to a keyboard,

monitor, and mouse, or tiered into an external analog KVM switch with KVM ports. If you are connecting the Digital Access KVM switch to an external KVM

switch using Cat5 connectors/ACI ports, that switch's dongle (PS2/video to Cat5) is required.

NOTE:

The Avocent Digital Access KVM module differs from the Avocent Analog KVM module in that the Digital Access KVM switch module does not

have an ACI port; it has an Ethernet network interface in its place.

Remote control of Virtual Media and virtual KVM

After connecting to your network using the switch's Ethernet connection, use the system's DRAC/MC GUI to select Media and/or console and which

server module to connect to.

NOTE:

The switch's Ethernet port must be connected into the same network as the DRAC/MC port and must be configured in the same IP subnet

as the DRAC/MC controller.

You can then use the switch's Virtual Media and virtual KVM features:
