Installation

Connecting the Servers:

Step 1:

Connect all servers to the primary and secondary KVM switches.

Refer to the “Connecting Servers to the LCD Rack Console” section on page 11 for instructions.

Step 2:

Power up the secondary KVM switches sequentially, beginning with the highest BANK, by connecting each unit’s power supply. Each KVM switch should display its corresponding BANK-address number as it is powered up.

Step 3:

Verify that the primary KVM switch has detected all secondary KVM switches by scrolling through the BANKs by using the OSD.

Powering Up the Systems

Verify that all servers connected to the PRO3 KVM Switch are powered on. If any connected servers have not been powered on, it is okay to do so at this time (servers can be powered on simultaneously). The PRO3 KVM Switch emulates both a mouse and keyboard on each port and allows your server to boot normally.

The server connected to Port “1” will be displayed on the monitor. Check that the keyboard, monitor, and mouse are working normally. Check all occupied ports to verify that all servers are connected and responding correctly. If you encounter an error, check your cable connections for that server and reboot. If the problem persists, please refer to the “Troubleshooting” section in this User Manual.
