Appendix B: IBM x330
Paragon switch firmware versions 1P0 (UMT2161), 2C2 (UMT242, UMT442, and UMT8), or 3A2
(UMT1664) and User Station (UST1) firmware 4L2 or higher supports an IBM x330 chain of
computers as a second tier by utilizing IBM’s Cable Chaining Technology (C2T)
and Raritan
Computer Interface Modules (CIMs), UKVMP-x330 or UKVMC-x330.
An IBM x330 rack of up to 42 servers can be accommodated for each Paragon Matrix Switch channel
port. This Paragon feature lets users name each x330 server in the rack and see that name in a
Paragon Selection Menu, instead of utilizing blind x330 shortcut key switching techniques.
