Hardware Setup

Two Stage Installations (continued)

5.Plug the power cord that came with the cascaded KVM switch into its Power Socket, and then into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or PDU.

6.Repeat these steps for any other Second Stage units you wish to connect.

7.First power on the B064-Series KVM Switch and then power on all second-stage KVM switches.

8.Turn on the power to all of the connected computers/servers.

Note: The Power On sequence requires that the B064-Series KVM Switch be powered on first. After the B064-Series KVM Switch has been powered on, all second-stage units must be powered on. After the second-stage units have been powered on, the connected computers/servers can be powered on.

Hot Plugging

The B064-Series KVM Switches support hot plugging; components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging and re- plugging their cables from the ports without the need to shut the unit down. However, if you change computer positions, in order for the OSD menus to correspond to the KVM port changes, you must manually re-edit the Port Names to reflect the new port information.

Note: If the computer’s Operating System does not support hot plugging, this function may not work properly.

Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to power off the B064-Series KVM Switch, or the switch loses power and needs to be restarted, wait 10 seconds before powering it back on. The computers should not be affected by this, but if any of them should fail, simply restart them.

Port ID Numbering

Each computer on the installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID is a one or two segment number that is determined by the Stage Level and KVM port number of the KVM switch that the computer/server is connected to.

Single Stage Installations

Single stage installations will have a one segment Port ID consisting of two digits.

(For example, a computer/server connected to port 19 of a B064-032-04-IP will have a Port ID of 19. A computer/server connected to port 9 of a B064-032-04-IP will have a Port ID of 09)

Two Stage Installations

Two stage installations will have a two segment Port ID consisting of 4 digits. (2 digits per segment)

•The first segment of the Port ID represents the port number of the First Stage KVM switch that the cascaded unit is connected to.

•The second segment of the Port ID represents the port number of the Second Stage KVM switch that the computer/server is connected to.

(For example, a computer attached to port 3 of a second stage KVM switch that is connected to port 15 of the first stage KVM switch will have a Port ID of 03-15)
