Tripp Lite B096-016 USB Port Connection, Rackmount Console / KVM Connection B092-016 only

The Console Server also has a DB9 LOCAL (Console/Modem) port. This DB-9 connector is on the rear panel of the B092-016 Console Server, and on the front panel of the B096-048/016 Console Server Management Switch.

2.5USB Port Connection

The B096-048/016 Console Server Management Switch has one USB port on the front panel. External USB devices can be plugged into this USB port. The B096-048/016 Console Server Management Switch ships with a USB memory stick so that it will be installed in this port for extended log file storage.

There are four USB 2.0 ports on the rear panel of the B092-016 Console Server. These ports are used to connect to USB consoles (of managed UPS hardware) and to other external devices (such as a USB memory stick or keyboard).

External USB devices (including USB hubs) can be plugged into any Console Server USB port.

2.6Rackmount Console / KVM Connection (B092-016 only)

B092-016 Console Server with PowerAlert can be connected directly to a rack mount console (such as B021-000-17 or B021-019 by Tripp Lite) to provide direct local management right at the rack. Connect the rack mount console’s PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse and VGA connectors directly to the PS/2 and VGA connectors on the B092-016. The default video resolution is 1024 x768. The B092-016 Console Server also supports the use of a USB keyboard/mouse.

Alternately, the B092-016 Console Server can also be connected locally to a KVM (or KVMoIP) switch at the rack. The B092-016 Console Server with PowerAlert will enable you then to use this KVM infrastructure to run PowerAlert, to manage your power devices and to run the thin clients to manage other devices.

Note Care should be taken in handling all Console Server products. There are no operator-serviceable components inside, so do not remove cover. Refer any service to qualified personnel
