Question
Answer
Is virtual media supported?
This depends on the blade server. HP blades
can support virtual media. The IBM
BladeCenter (except for BladeCenter T)
supports virtual media if configured
appropriately. A virtual media CIM –
D2CIM-VUSB or D2CIM-DVUSB – must be
used.
Is Absolute Mouse
Synchronization supported?
Servers with internal KVM switches inside the
blade chassis typically do not support absolute
mouse technology. For HP blade and some
Dell blade servers, a CIM can be connected to
each blade, so Absolute Mouse
Synchronization is supported.
Is blade access secure?
Yes. Blade access uses all of the standard
Dominion KX II security features such as
128-bit or 256-bit encryption. In addition, there
are blade-specific security features such as per
blade access permissions and hotkey-blocking
that eliminates unauthorized access.
Does the Dominion KSX II or the
KX II-101 support blade servers?
At this time, these products do not support
blade servers.
Installation
Question
Answer
Besides the unit itself, what do I
need to order from Raritan to
install Dominion KX II?
Each server that connects to Dominion KX II
requires a Dominion or Paragon computer
interface module (CIM), an adapter that
connects directly to the keyboard, video and
mouse ports of the server.
Which kind of Cat5 cabling should
be used in my installation?
Dominion KX II can use any standard UTP
(unshielded twisted pair) cabling, whether
Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6. Often in our manuals and
marketing literature, Raritan will simply say
"Cat5" cabling for short. In actuality, any brand
UTP cable will suffice for Dominion KX II.
Which types of servers can be
connected to Dominion KX II?
Dominion KX II is completely vendor
independent. Any server with
standards-compliant keyboard, video and
mouse ports can be connected. In addition,
servers with serial ports can be controlled
using the P2CIM-SER CIM.
