25 Local KVM KVM stands for Keyboard/Video/Mouse. With KVM, a user can control multiple blades with a single keyboard/video/mouse setup. The maximum video resolution the KVM can support is 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz. To Use: Connect your keyboard, mouse and monitor to the USB and VGA connectors on the CMM module, then push the KVM button on the control panel of the blade module you wish to access. The KVM LED on the blade will then illuminate and you can interface directly with that blade. To access a different blade module, simply push the KVM button on that blade's control panel. Remote KVM over IP Remote KVM over IP is independent from local KVM (although local KVM can operate in parallel with Remote KVM). Remote KVM encrypts all communication between the remote user and the CMM. To Use: Remote KVM over IP is initiated with the management software (Acer Smart Blade Manager or Acer Smart Blade Console). Attach the LAN cable to the LAN port on the CMM module then refer to Acer Smart Blade Console on page 28 to login and use either utility. Virtual Media The Virtual Media function allows the user to connect to a remote storage device (such as a floppy, hard disk, CD-ROM or USB storage device) and access the device as if it were local. This can be used not only to read and write to remote storage devices but to load an operating system from a remote drive. Serial Over LAN (SOL) Serial Over LAN allows you to redirect the input and output of a serial port via IPMI in order to manage blade modules from a remote location. To Use: Serial Over LAN can be activated via the Acer Smart Blade Console. See the Acer Smart Blade Console on page 28.
