Connect the ACI port on the rear of the PowerEdge 1855 to one of the 16 ARI ports on the

back of the Dell 2161DS Console Switch (Figure 2-6).

Once the KVM Switch is connected, the server blades appear in OSCAR.

Figure 2-6. Tiering a KVM Switch from a 2161DS Console Switch

Once connected, the Dell 2161DS will automatically configure the slots in the KVM menu. Once

the local system is set up, you will need to resynchronize the server list from the Remote Console

Switch Software in order to see the list of PowerEdge 1855 server blades.

Resynchronizing the Server List at the Remote Client Workstation

Once the KVM switch is connected, the server blades appear in OSCAR. You now need to

resynchronize the servers on any remote workstation to ensure that the server blades are now

available to any remote users that are connected to the 2161DS Console Switch through the

Remote Console Switch Software.

NOTE: This procedure only resynchronizes one remote client workstation. With multiple client

workstations, save the resynchronized local database and load it into the other client workstations to

ensure consistency.

CAUTION: Do not connect the KVM switch ACI port to a LAN device such as a network hub. Doing so

may result in equipment damage.
