Pluggable Devices Installation and Configuration
Insert and configure pluggable devices (PC cards and/or USB devices) only after you enable PC
Card and USB Device Detection, as described in the following procedure.
Go to http://www.avocent.com to see the current list of supported pluggable devices.
NOTE: When a pluggable device is not listed in the internal database, the Device Info column may show no text
at all or show different text based on the type of card. One example is Unknown device f024 (rev 01).
NOTE: When a pluggable device is not in the current list of supported pluggable devices (PC cards and USB
devices), if the device is detected by the console server, the console server attempts to configure the device with
standard settings. The device might operate normally but it might not be supported by Avocent.
To enable Pluggable Device Detection:
1. Select Appliance Settings - Security - Security Profile in the Web Manager. The Security
Profile content area is displayed.
2. Select Enabled from the PC Card and USB Device Detection drop-down menu.
NOTE: When using wireless devices, changes made to a configuration will take effect only after the device is
ejected and then re-inserted.
To install a pluggable device:
1. Insert the PC card into slot 1 or slot 2 or connect the USB device in the USB port.
2. Select Appliance Settings - Pluggable Devices in the Web Manager. The Pluggable Devices
content area is displayed. If Pluggable Devices Detection is enabled, the inserted pluggable
device’s Device Name, Device Type and Device Info are shown.
NOTE: A hard disk PC card and a USB storage device are automatically mounted and configured once it is
inserted.
