Configure the dynamic channel for each external switch. See "Configuring a Dynamic Channel." Using the KVM Switch The onboard KVM switch allows you to select the keyboard, video, and mouse from one server module to another. In addition, the KVM switch module can be connected to a KVM-over-IP switch so that you can monitor multiple systems in a rack. The analog rack interface port (see Figure 1-3) connects to an external KVM-over-IP switch. Figure 1-7 shows an example of how the system can be managed by connecting directly to the onboard KVM switch. 1-14 System Configuration Guide
