Step 3: Connect the Equipment
Connect the KX II to the power supply, network, local PC, local video
display, keyboard and mouse, and target servers. The letters in the
diagram correspond to the topics in this section that describe the
connection.
A. AC Power
To connect the power supply:
1. Attach the included AC power cord to the KX II and plug into an AC
power outlet.
2. For dual power failover protection, attach the second included AC
power cord and plug it into a different power source than the first
power cord.
Note: If you only attach one power cord, the power LED on the KX II front
panel will be red because the system is set to automatically detect both
sources. See Power Supply Setup (on page 157) for information about
turning off automatic detection for the power source that is not in use.
B. Modem Port (Optional)
The KX II features a dedicated modem port for remote access even
when the LAN/WAN is unavailable. Using a straight-through serial
(RS-232) cable, connect an external serial modem to the port labeled
MODEM on the back of the KX II (see Specifications (on page 257) for
a list of certified modems and Configuring Modem Settings (on page
148) for information on configuring the modem).
Note: Raritan recommends configuring the modem by enabling the CD
(carrier detect) setting.
