Considerations Each CE requires a standard VGA-compatible video adapter. The adapter provides the video BIOS to boot the CE and is used to display the following items: • POST messages • BIOS setup, test, and diagnostics • MS-DOS boot for flashing the MIC • Operating system flex-boot • Text phase of the operating system boot • Initial CE installation You can monitor and manage the IOPs and CEs from one location by adding a KVM or video switch to your hardware configuration. Depending on your site's physical layout and the configuration of the hardware within the workspace, you can use a KVM or video switch in a variety of ways. For example, you can purchase and install: • A video switch if you want the IOP and CE in each tuple to share a monitor. • A 2-channel KVM switch to alternate the monitor and keyboard between the IOP and CE, if you install each tuple in its own rack. • A single 4-channel KVM switch to alternate the monitor, keyboard, and mouse between the IOPs and CEs if you install both tuples in one rack.

Initial CE installation
You can monitor and manage the IOPs and CEs from one location by adding a KVM or video
switch to your hardware configuration. Depending on your site±s physical layout and the
configuration of the hardware within the workspace, you can use a KVM or video switch in a
variety of ways. For example, you can purchase and install:
°
A video switch if you want the IOP and CE in each tuple to share a monitor.
°
A 2-channel KVM switch to alternate the monitor and keyboard between the IOP and CE,
if you install each tuple in its own rack.
°
A single 4-channel KVM switch to alternate the monitor, keyboard, and mouse between
the IOPs and CEs if you install both tuples in one rack.
