FLASH Upgradeable

Upgrade your Remote Console Switch and SIP modules at any time to ensure you are always running the most current firmware version available. Flash Upgrades can be initiated through OSCAR® or the Serial Console. The Remote Console Switch can be configured to perform automatic firmware upgrades of SIP modules. See “Appendix A: FLASH Upgrades” on page 45 for more information.

Cascade (Tier) Expansion

The Remote Console Switch features allow you to cascade additional Dell Console Switches from each of the Analog Rack Interface (ARI) ports on the switch. The cascaded switches are attached in the same manner as any device. This additional tier of units allows you to attach up to 256 servers in one system. See “Adding a Cascade Switch” on page 20.
