USB profile help appears in the USB Profile Help window. For detailed
information about specific USB profiles, see Available USB Profiles (on
page 105).
Raritan provides a standard selection of USB configuration profiles for a
wide range of operating system and BIOS level server implementations.
These are intended to provide an optimal match between remote USB
device and target server configurations.
The „Generic‟ profile meets the needs of most commonly deployed target
server configurations.
Additional profiles are made available to meet the specific needs of other
commonly deployed server configurations (for example, Linux
®
, MAC
OS-X
®
).
There are also a number of profiles (designated by platform name and
BIOS revision) that have been tailored to enhance the virtual media
function compatibility with the target server, for example, when operating
at the BIOS level.
„Add Other Profiles‟ provides access to other profiles available on the
system. Profiles selected from this list will be added to the USB Profile
Menu. This includes a set of „trouble-shooting‟ profiles intended to help
identify configuration limitations.
The USB Profile Menu selections are configurable via the Console
Device Settings > Port Configuration page.
Should none of the standard USB profiles provided by Raritan meet your
target server requirements, Raritan Technical Support can work with you
to arrive at a solution tailored for that target. Raritan recommends that
you do the following:
1. Check the most recent release notes on the Raritan website
(www.raritan.com) on the Firmware Upgrade page to see if a solution
is already available for your configuration.
2. If not, please provide the following information when contacting
Raritan Technical Support:
a. Target server information, manufacturer, model, BIOS,
manufacturer, and version.
b. The intended use (e.g. redirecting an image to reload a server‟s
operating system from CD).
