Overview
An Interface Adapter is required for the HP KVM Server Console Switch system
to function properly. However, it is not included in the HP KVM Server Console
Switch kit. An Interface Adapter connects UTP CAT5 cables to PS/2 or USB
connections, establishing a KVM session to a server.
NOTE: UTP CAT5 cables are used throughout the examples in this
guide. However, UTP CAT6 and UTP CAT7 cables may also be used.
Configuring the Interface Adapter
1. Connect a UTP CAT5 cable to the server connection port ("Components" on
page 17) on the HP KVM Server Console Switch.
2. Connect the other end of that same UTP CAT5 cable to the RJ-45 port on the
Interface Adapter.
3. Connect the Interface Adapter to the appropriate ports on the server.
4. Repeat the preceding steps to connect any other servers to this system.
The following figure shows one possible configuration for your HP KVM Server
Console Switch system with an Interface Adapter.
