• The iKVM can also be accessed from the front of the enclosure, providing front or rear panel KVM functionality, but not at the same time. For enhanced security, front panel access can be disabled using the CMC's interface. NOTE: Connecting a keyboard, video, and mouse to the enclosure front panel disables video output to the iKVM back panel port. It does not interrupt iDRAC video and console redirection. • You can use the iKVM to access the CMC console directly, using RACADM or via the Web-based interface. For more information, see "Using the iKVM Module" in the CMC User's Guide. Figure 1-18 shows the external features of the iKVM switch module. Figure 1-18.
