D. Local Access Port (Local PC)
For access to target servers at the rack, use the KX II Local Access port.
The Local Access port also provides a graphical user interface from the
KX II Local Console for administration and target server access.
While the Local Access port is required for installation and setup, it is
optional for subsequent use.
Note: The KX2-808, KX2-832 and KX2-864 also provide an Extended
Local port labeled EXT LOCAL on the back of the device for access to
target servers while at the rack. The Extended Local port is not required
for the initial installation and setup. It is not enabled by default and is
configured from the Local Console and the Remote Console.
To connect the local port:
Attach a multi-sync VGA monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the
respective Local User ports using USB keyboard and mouse. The
Local User and Extended Local ports are on the back panel of the
KX II.
Monitor - attach a standard multi-sync VGA monitor to the HD15
(female) video port
Keyboard - attach either a standard keyboard to the Mini-DIN6
(female) keyboard port, or a standard USB keyboard to one of the
USB Type A (female) ports
Mouse - attach either a standard mouse to the Mini-DIN6 (female)
mouse port, or a standard USB mouse to one of the USB Type A
(female) ports
E. Target Server Ports
The KX II uses standard UTP cabling (Cat5/5e/6) to connect to each
target server.
For information on the supported distances between the KX II and target
server, see Supported Target Server Connection Distance/Refresh
Rate/Video Resolution in KX II Online Help.
If you are using digital CIMs (DCIMs), review Digital CIM Target Server
Timing and Video Resolution in KX II Online Help.
To connect a target server to the KX II:
1. Use the appropriate CIM or DCIM. Attach the video connector of
your CIM/DCIM to the video port of your target server.
