3 KVM series2-1611

3.1Preinstallation

The KVM s2-1611 system requires that the KVM s2-Client software be installed prior to use. The KVM s2-Client software allows you to view and control a server attached to the appliance system, configure and maintain the system and prevent unauthorized access to the appliance via IP connection.

The analog port does not require the Client software for operation. The analog port uses the On-Screen Configuration and Activity Reporting interface (OSCAR®).

The KVM s2-1611 system uses Ethernet networking infrastructure and TCP/IP protocol to transmit keyboard, video and mouse information between operators and connected computers. Although 10BaseT Ethernet may be used, a dedicated, switched 100BaseT network provides improved performance.

3.1.1 Getting started

Before installing your KVM s2-1611 appliance, refer to the following list to ensure you have all items that shipped with the appliance as well as other items neces- sary for proper installation.

3.1.1.1Supplied with the KVM series2-1611

• KVM s2-1611 unit

• Power cord

• Rack mounting kit

• One straight-through null modem serial cable

• KVM series2-1611 Installer/User Guide

• KVM series2-Client software Installer/User Guide

• KVM series2-1611 Quick Installation Guide

3.1.1.2Additional items needed

•One KVM s2-Adapter per attached server or switch

3.1.2 Setting up your network

The KVM s2-1611 system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the appliances and the computers running Client software. The KVM s2-1611 appliance supports both BootP (a subset of DHCP) and static IP addressing.

Fujitsu Siemens recommends that IP addresses be reserved for each unit and that they remain static while the appliances are connected to the network.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers, a key player in the computing industry, was established in 1999 as a joint venture between two tech giants: Fujitsu, a Japanese multinational, and Siemens, a German engineering company. This partnership aimed to leverage the strengths of both companies to create a strong presence in the European PC market.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers focused on a diverse range of products, including personal computers, workstations, and servers, catering to both consumer and business markets. One of the standout features of their offerings was the commitment to innovation. Fujitsu Siemens integrated cutting-edge technologies into their devices, ensuring users benefited from the latest advancements.

The company was known for its robust design and reliability, characteristics that made its systems particularly popular in enterprise environments. Their notebooks and desktops often featured ergonomic designs, with exceptional build quality aimed at enhancing user experience. Moreover, they provided a range of security features, including biometric authentication and hardware encryption, addressing the needs of businesses concerned about data protection.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers also invested heavily in energy efficiency. Many of their devices were designed to minimize power consumption, responding to the growing demand for sustainable technology solutions. Their systems often featured low-power components and energy-efficient processors, which not only reduced environmental impact but also helped cut operational costs for businesses.

In terms of technology, Fujitsu Siemens was an early adopter of virtualization, enabling enterprises to optimize resource utilization in their server environments. Their server lineup, particularly the Primergy series, was well-regarded for its scalability and performance, making it suitable for demanding workloads.

Furthermore, Fujitsu Siemens' close collaboration with software companies allowed them to offer tailored solutions that met specific industry needs. They provided extensive support for virtualization platforms, security software, and enterprise management tools, positioning their products as comprehensive solutions for businesses.

Despite its strengths, Fujitsu Siemens Computers underwent several transitions over the years, eventually becoming part of Fujitsu Technology Solutions in 2009. Nevertheless, the legacy of Fujitsu Siemens Computers continues to influence modern computing, as its blend of innovation, reliability, and customer-focused solutions paved the way for future advancements in the tech industry.
