60 DOMINION KX USER MANUAL
Power Control
QUESTION ANSWER
What type of power control
capabilities does Dominion
KX offer?
Because Dominion KX enables you to remotely manage servers; it also
incorporates the critical functionality of hard power control to servers.
Instead of using a third-party tool for power control (likely with lower
security and fail-safe capabilities as Dominion KX), you can use
Dominion KX’s fully integrated remote power control.
When remotely connected to an appropriately configured Dominion KX,
simply select the power control options to hard reboot a hung server. Note
that a hard reboot provides the physical equivalent of unplugging the
server from the AC power line, and re-inserting the plug.
Does Dominion KX
support servers with
multiple power supplies?
What if each power supply
is connected to a different
power strip?
Yes. Dominion KX can be easily configured to support multiple power
supplies connected to multiple power strips.
Does remote power control
require any special server
configuration?
Some servers ship with default BIOS settings such that the server does not
restart after losing and regaining power. See your server user manual for
more details.
What type of power strips
does Dominion KX
support?
Dominion KX can support any serially controlled power strips supplied
by any vendor, by using our Serial (RS-232) computer interface module.
However, to take advantage of Dominion KX’s integrated power control
user interface, and more importantly, integrated security, you must use
Raritan’s power strips (“remote power control units”). These power strips
come in many outlet, connector, and amp variations – simply order any
Raritan power strip whose part number ends in the “-PK” designation.
