© 2010 Raritan Inc. Page 11 of 20 V1098 R2 January 2010
Question Answer
What should I do to prepare
a server for connection to
Dominion KX II?
Simply set the mouse parameters in order to provide users with the best
mouse synchronization during remote connections, as well as turning off
the power management features that affect screen display. However, if
the Absolute Mouse Synchronization is supported through the new
D2CIM-VUSB adapter, then manually setting the mouse parameters
isn’t necessary.
What comes in the
Dominion KX II box?
The following are included: (1) Dominion KX II unit, (2) Quick Setup
Guide, (3) standard 19" rack mount brackets, (4) user manual CD-ROM,
(5) network cable, (6) crossover cable, (7) localized AC line cord and
(8) warranty certificate and other documentation.
Blade Servers
Can I connect blade servers
to the Dominion KX II?
Yes. Dominion KX II supports popular blade server models from the
leading blade server manufacturers: HP, IBM
®
and Dell
®
.
Which blade servers are
supported?
The following models are supported: Dell PowerEdge
®
1855, 1955 and
M1000e; HP BladeSystem c3000 and c7000; and IBM BladeCenter
®
H,
E and S.
Are the Paragon Blade
CIMs used?
No. The Dominion KX II does not require the use of special blade server
CIMs like the Paragon II.
Which CIM should I use?
It depends on the type of KVM ports on the specific make and model of
the blade server you are using. The following CIMs are supported:
DCIM-PS2, DCIM-USBG2, D2CIM-VUSB and D2CIM-DVUSB.
Which types of access and
control are available?
The Dominion KX II provides automated and secure KVM access:
(1) at the rack, (2) remotely over IP, (3) via CommandCenter and
(4) by modem.
Do I have to use hotkeys to
switch between blades?
Some blade servers require you to use hotkeys to switch between
blades. With the Dominion KX II, you don’t have to use these hotkeys.
Just click on the name of the blade server, and the Dominion KX II will
automatically switch to that blade without the explicit use of the hotkey.
Can I access the blade
server’s management
module?
Yes. You can define the URL of the management module and access it
from the Dominion KX II or from our CommandCenter Secure Gateway.
If configured, one-click access is available.
How many blade servers
can I connect to a Dominion
KX II ?
For performance and reliability reasons, you can connect up to eight
blade chassis to a Dominion KX II, regardless of model. Raritan
recommends connecting up to two times the number of remote
connections supported by the device. For example, with a KX2-216 with
two remote channels, we recommend connecting up to four blade server
chassis. You can of course connect individual servers to the remaining
server ports.
