Power Control
Does the Dominion KX II have a dual power option?
All of the Dominion KX II models come equipped with dual AC inputs and
power supplies with automatic fail-over. Should one of the power inputs
or power supplies fail, then the Dominion KX II will automatically switch
to the other.
Does the power supply used by the Dominion KX II automatically
detect voltage settings?
Yes. The Dominion KX II's power supply can be used in AC voltage
ranges from 100-240 volts, at 50-60 Hz.
If a power supply or input fails, will I be notified?
The Dominion KX II front panel LED will notify the user of a power failure.
An entry will also be sent to the Audit Log and displayed on the Dominion
KX II Remote Client User Interface. If configured by the administrator,
then SNMP or Syslog events will be generated.
What type of power control capabilities does the Dominion KX II
offer?
Raritan's Remote Power Control power strips can be connected to the
Dominion KX II to provide power control of the KVM target servers. After
a simple one-time configuration step, just right click the server name to
power on, off, or recycle a hung server. Note that a hard reboot provides
the physical equivalent of unplugging the server from the AC power line,
and reinserting the plug.
Does the Dominion KX II support servers with multiple power
supplies? What if each power supply is connected to a different
power strip?
Yes. The Dominion KX II can be easily configured to support multiple
power supplies connected to multiple power strips. Up to eight (8) power
strips can be connected to the Dominion KX II device. Four power
supplies can be connected per target server to multiple power strips.
Does remote power control require any special server
configuration?
Some servers ship with default BIOS settings such that the server does
not automatically restart after losing and regaining power. For these
servers, see the server’s documentation to change this setting.
