DCIM-USBG2
Dominion KX I DCIM-USBG2 Usage
For Dominion KX I, the recommended usage depends on the firmware release as follows:
Dominion KX I
Release
CIM to Use
KX 1.3, KX 1.4, KX 1.4.x
DCIM-USBG2 for USB and
SUN USB Servers
KX 1.0.x, KX 1.1 and KX 1.2
DCIM-USB
DCIM-SUSB (Sun USB)
So most KX I customers should purchase the DCIM-USBG2, unless they are running a very old
firmware release. Of course, customers can upgrade free of charge to new firmware and use the
DCIM-USBG2 for increased reliability.
Connect to Serial Devices with P2CIM-SER and Dominion KX II
The P2CIM-SER (and P2CIM-SER-EU for European market) can be used to connect a serial device
(networking device, headless server) to a Dominion KX II, Paragon II or Dominion KX.
The P2CIM-SER converts serial device input to a standard KVM signal for use with Paragon II and
Dominion KX I and KX II. The US List Price is $149. The CIM is powered via USB from the serial
device or the PWR-SER-4 four port power adapter.
CIM Usage for Blade Servers
Release 2.1 and above supports access, control and management for Dell, HP and IBM Blade Servers.
The type of CIM to be used for KVM access depends on the KVM ports on the blade chassis or blade
server the CIM is connected to, and whether advanced features such as virtual media and absolute
mouse synchronization are wanted and supported by the blade server.
