Installation

The Dell™ Integrated KVM Switch Module (KVM switch) can be deployed into most existing

KVM infrastructures in order to manage standard integrated servers and modular Dell server blades

all from a single console.

The KVM switch can be tiered from Dell-branded KVM switches such as the 2161DS Console

Switch, 2160AS, and analog 180ES and 2160ES KVM switches. It can also be tiered from other

industry products that support the On-Screen Configuration and Activity Reporting

interface(OSCAR®).

Configuring the KVM Switch for Tiering

Before the KVM Switch can be tiered in any configuration, it must first be set up for use. Figure 2-1

displays a basic configuration for the KVM Switch.

To connect the KVM Switch:

Connect the local KVM cable to the appropriate port on the KVM Switch (Figure 2-1).

Connect the keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the local KVM cable.
