Step 4: Dominion KX II Initial Configuration
The first time you power up the Dominion KX II unit, there is some initial configuration that you
need to perform through the KX II Local Console:
Change the default password.
Assign the IP Address.
Name the target servers.
Specify power supply auto-detection.
Changing the Default Password
The Dominion KX II ships with a default password. The first time you start the Dominion KX II
you are required to change that password.
To change the default password:
1. Power ON the Dominion KX II using the power switch(es) at the back of the unit. Please wait
for the Dominion KX II unit to boot. (A beep signals that the boot is complete.)
2. Once the unit has booted, the KX II Local Console is visible on the monitor attached to the
Dominion KX II local port. Type the default username (admin) and password (raritan) and
click Login. The Change Password screen is displayed.
3. Type your old password (raritan) in the Old Password field.
4. Type a new password in the New Password field; retype the new password in the Confirm
New Password field. Passwords can be up to 64 characters in length and can consist of
English alphanumeric characters and the special characters identified in the table following
these steps.
5. Click Apply.
6. You will receive confirmation that the password was successfully changed. Click OK. The
Port Access page is displayed.
Note: The default password can also be changed from the Raritan Multi-Platform Client (MPC).
For more information, refer to the Raritan Multi-Platform Client (MPC) and Raritan Remote
