Configuring the KVM Switch Module This section includes configuration information for the two KVM switch modules supported by your system - the Avocent Analog KVM switch module (Figure 2-1) and Avocent Digital Access KVM switch module (Figure 2-2). NOTICE: The basic Dell™ KVM pass-though module used on the PowerEdge™ 1855 system is not supported by Dell PowerEdge 1955 server modules (blades). NOTE: The Avocent Analog KVM switch ACI port can only be used to connect to ARI ports on Dell console switches, with the latest firmware revision installed. To connect to other types or brands of switches, including Avocent switches, connect the KVM to the switch's PS2 and video ports using the proprietary dongle provided with that switch. Figure 2-1.
