1 Preface

The Fujitsu Siemens KVM series2-1611 (KVM s2-1611) switches combine analog and digital technology to provide flexible, centralized control of data center serv- ers. This solution delivers secure digital access and flexible server management from anywhere at any time.

Throughout the documentation you will see the word “appliance” used generically to describe the KVM s2-1611 switch.

The KVM s2-1611 consists of a rack mountable keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switch configurable for analog or digital connectivity. Each KVM s2-1611 has 16 Fujitsu Siemens Rack Interface (RI) ports for connecting devices and oper- ates over standard LAN connections. Access servers across a 100BaseT Ethernet connection or directly through an analog port on the KVM s2-1611 for analog KVM connectivity and administration. Video resolutions through the analog port can be up to 1600 x 1280 with an end-to-end cable length of up to 15 meters (50 feet). Digital users can achieve video resolution of up to 1280 x 1024 with a cable length of up to 10 meters (32 feet) between the KVM s2-1611 and the server.

KVM series2-Adapter

The Fujitsu Siemens KVM series2-Adapters (KVM s2-Adapters) with CAT 5 design dramatically reduce cable clutter, while providing optimal digital display resolution and video settings. The built-in memory of the KVM s2-Adapter simplifies configuration by assigning and retaining unique server names or Electronic ID (EID) numbers for each attached server. This integrated intelligence enhances security and prevents unauthorized access to a server through cable manipulation. The KVM s2-Adapter is powered directly from the server and provides Keep Alive functionality even if the KVM s2-1611 is not powered.

Access via network connection

No special software or drivers are required on the attached computers. Digital users access the KVM s2-1611 and all attached systems via Ethernet from a PC running the KVM series2-Client (KVM s2-Client or Client) software. This software resides on the user’s PC only. User PCs can be located anywhere a valid network connection exists. The KVM s2-1611 can be configured on a separate network from your data network, allowing access to your servers even if your applications network is down.

Point and click control with KVM s2-Client software

The KVM s2-Client software is a cross-platform management application that allows you to view and control the KVM s2-1611 and all attached servers.

The Client software provides secure authentication, data transfers and username/

2 specifications

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.
