Table 2-2. Cabling Requirements for External Digital KVM Switches Switch Tiering Requirements Dell PowerConnect 2161DS, 4161DS, 2161DS-2, 2321DS (version 1.3.40.0 or later) Seamless tiering using ACI port and Cat 5 cable Avocent DSR x02x (except 1024), x03x (version 3.6 or later) Avocent DSR 800, x16x, x010, 1024 Avocent USB SIP (DSRIQ-USB) required with Cat 5 cable To tier the iKVM module from a Dell 2161DS, 180AS, or 2160AS console switch: • If the switch does not require a SIP to connect to the iKVM (see Table 2-2), connect a Cat5 (or newer) cable to the RJ-45 ACI port on the iKVM module. See Figure 1-16. Connect the other end of this cable to the ARI port on the external switch. • If the switch requires a USB SIP (see Table 2-1), connect an Avocent USB SIP to the iKVM, then connect a Cat5 (or newer) cable to the SIP. Connect the other end of this cable to the ARI port on the external switch. Once the KVM switch is connected, the server modules appear in OSCAR. NOTE: When the local system is set up, you must also resynchronize the server list from the Remote Console Switch software in order to see the list of blades. See "Resynchronizing the Server List at the Remote Client Workstation" on page 42. Viewing and Selecting Servers Use the OSCAR Main dialog box to view, configure, and manage servers in the M1000e enclosure through the iKVM. You can view the servers by name or by slot. The slot number is the chassis slot number the server occupies. The Slot column indicates the slot number in which a server is installed. NOTE: Server names and slot numbers are assigned by the CMC. NOTE: If you have enabled access to the CMC though the iKVM, an additional option, Dell CMC Console, is displayed. To enable this feature, see "Enabling iKVM Access to the Dell CMC Console" on page 38. Initial System Configuration 41
