Chapter 2: Installation 15 This procedure assumes that you are using one or more KCOs to daisy chain two or more servers. One server is already connected to an ARI port on the rack console switch using a KCO. 1. Make sure that each server you want to connect to the switch is turned off. 2. Connect a KCO to each server to be daisy-chained. 3. Attach one end of a CAT 5 cable to the second RJ-45 connector on a KCO that is connected to a server that is either already connected to an ARI port or daisy-chained. 4. Attach the other end of the CAT 5 cable to the first RJ-45 connector on a KCO that is con- nected to an additional server. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all servers to be daisy-chained. 6. When you reach the end of the chain, attach a terminator to the second RJ-45 connector on the last KCO in the chain. 7. Turn on the servers, and then turn on the rack console switch.

Chapter 2: Installation
15
This procedure assumes that you are using one or more KCOs to daisy chain two or more servers.
One server is already connected to an ARI port on the rack console switch using a KCO.
1.
Make sure that each server you want to connect to the switch is turned off.
2.
Connect a KCO to each server to be daisy-chained.
3.
Attach one end of a CAT 5 cable to the second RJ-45 connector on a KCO that is connected to
a server that is either already connected to an ARI port or daisy-chained.
4.
Attach the other end of the CAT 5 cable to the first RJ-45 connector on a KCO that is con-
nected to an additional server.
5.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all servers to be daisy-chained.
6.
When you reach the end of the chain, attach a terminator to the second RJ-45 connector on the
last KCO in the chain.
7.
Turn on the servers, and then turn on the rack console switch.
Chaining servers with UCOs
Figure 2.5: Daisy-chaining using UCOs
This procedure assumes that you are using one or more UCOs to daisy-chain two or more servers.
One server is already connected to an ARI port on the rack console switch using a UCO.
1.
Make sure that each server you want to connect to the switch is turned off.
2.
Connect a UCO to the monitor and USB ports on the server to be daisy chained.
