Installation Connecting the Servers
Connecting the servers:
6. Power on the KVM devices, in any order. You will see the port LEDs flash
on and off and the seven-segment LEDs will light up, displaying a series
of diagnostic codes, eventually stopping with the digits “XX”, where XX is
its BANK address.
NOTE: If the KVM devices still do not enumerate with their corresponding BANK
addresses, check that all KVM devices have the correct BANK address assigned
to them and that all Daisy-Chain Cables are connected properly.
7. If the primary BANK is set to address 00, the KVM administrator must
configure the Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch for daisy-chain usage. To
do this, take the following steps: (NOTE: You may see lines across some of
the consoles, which is normal. This is an invalid configuration, which can be
eliminated by activating the “Daisy-Chain this Switch” option.)
a) Open the OSD by pressing the “Scroll Lock” key twice, then the
space bar, and enter “Setup”.
b) Go to the “Options” page, and select the “Advanced” button.
c) In the “Advanced” dialog, check the “Daisy-chain this KVM” box.
d) A dialog will appear informing you that, “This will reset the KVM
switch to change this setting.” Click “OK” to clear the dialog and
automatically power-cycle the Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch.
When the Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch reboots, it will interact
with the remainder of the other daisy-chained KVM devices as
expected. You can verify this by opening the OSD and scrolling
through the list of servers; if any of the other KVM devices appear
in BANK 00’s list, then the Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch is
working properly.
NOTE: If you don’t configure BANK 00 for use on the daisy-chain, then the
Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch will not be able to interact with any of the
other KVM devices, and vice versa. In addition, the unit’s front panel will not
act the same as the other units’ front panels. Finally, there could be some
unpredictable interactions caused by connecting an improperly configured
BANK 00 to a daisy-chain.
