KVM series2-1611Connecting/turning on your KVM s2-1611

Mount the KVM switch into your rack cabinet. Locate a length of CAT 5 cabling to connect your appliance to the KVM s2-Adapter for your switch.

Attach one end of the CAT 5 cabling to the RJ45 connector on the KVM s2- Adapter.

Connect the other end of the CAT 5 cable to a port on the back of your KVM s2-1611.

Attach the keyboard, monitor and mouse connectors of the KVM s2-Adapter to a user port on your cascade switch.

Connect the servers to your Fujitsu Siemens cascade switch according to the instructions included with the device.

Power cycle the switch to enable the cascade code.

Repeat steps 2-5 for all cascade switches you want to attach to your system.

You can also cascade a KVM s2-1611 off of a KVM s2-1602/0801. To do this, attach one end of a CAT 5 cable to the ACI port on the main KVM

s2-1602/0801. Attach the other end of the CAT 5 cable to an RI port on the cascaded KVM s2-1611. Note that only one level of tiering is supported in this type of configuration and the local port OSCAR is disabled when the main KVM s2-1602/0801 is cascaded below the KVM s2-1611. See the KVM series2-1602/0801 User Guide for more information on this process.

3.3.6Connecting the network and turning on your KVM s2-1611

Connect your network cable from the LAN port on the rear of the KVM s2- 1611 appliance to your network.

The components in the KVM s2-1611 system may be turned on in any order. However, since the KVM s2-Adapters are powered by the servers, turn on the servers first and then turn on all attached systems for the most efficient startup.

3.4Setting Up the KVM s2-1611/Client System

See the KVM series2-Client Installer/User Guide that ships with your appliance.

The KVM s2-1611 system has an analog port that allows you to attach a monitor and a PS/2 keyboard and mouse to the back of the unit. First, set up your servers at the analog port via OSCAR before proceeding to the Client software to finish configuring your system. Proceed to the “Operations” chapter in this installer/user guide for detailed instructions on OSCAR setup and configuration. Once your servers are named, you will want to use a digital station to configure the Client
