Tiering an Analog KVM Switch

The KVM switch can be tiered from analog KVM switches such as the 180ES and 2160ES as well as

Avocent OutLook 140ES, 180ES, 280ES, 1160ES, 2160ES, and 4160ES switches.

To connect the KVM Switch to a supported analog switch:

Place the PowerEdge1855 and the analog switch in the desired location. Dell recommends

powering off and unplugging both appliances before connecting them.

Connect the local keyboard, video, and mouse interconnecting cable to the analog switch.

Connect the other end of this cable to the local KVM cable.

Connect the local KVM cable to the local KVM port of the KVM Switch(Figure 2-3).

Connect the power cords for both the analog switch and the PowerEdge1855 to the

appropriate socket on the rear of the appliance.

Connect both the analog switch and the PowerEdge1855 to an appropriate power supply.

Power up the analog switch and the PowerEdge1855.
