Chapter 2 Hardware Setup Installation 1. Important safety information regarding the placement of this device is provided on page iv. Please review it before proceeding. 2. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up have been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function. Single Stage Installation In a Single Stage installation, there are no additional KH98's cascaded down from the first unit.
KH98 User Manual 7. Turn on the power to the computers. 1 LAN 3 2 LAN BMC BMC BMC BMC 4 (Out of Band) Two Stage Installation To control and monitor more computers, up to eight additional KH98 units can be cascaded from the KVM ports of the First Stage unit. The cascaded KH98 units that connect back to the First Stage unit are considered Second Stage units. As many as 64 computers can be controlled in a complete two stage installation.
Chapter 2. Hardware Setup 4. Use KVM cable sets (described in the Cables section, page 3), to connect any available KVM port on the Second Stage unit to the Keyboard, Video, and Mouse ports of the computers you are installing. 5. Plug the power cord that came with this package into the KH98's Power Socket, and then into an AC power source. 6. Repeat the previous steps for any other Second Stage units you wish to connect. 7. Power on the monitor. 8.
KH98 User Manual Three Stage Installation The procedures for setting up a three stage installation are essentially the same as for a two stage installation. With a three stage setup, as many as 512 computers can be controlled in a complete installation. A table showing the relation between the number of computers and the number of KH98 units needed to control them is provided on page 51. Note: 1. See Notes 1 and 2 at the beginning of the Two Stage Installation section. 2.
Chapter 2. Hardware Setup Note: The Power On sequence requires that all First Stage units be powered on first. After they are all on, the Second Stage units must be powered on next. After all the Second Stage units are on, the Third Stage unit must be powered on. After completing this sequence, power on the computers.
KH98 User Manual Setup Considerations Hot Plugging The KH98 supports hot plugging. Components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging and replugging their cables from their respective ports without the need to shut the switch down. For hot plugging to work properly, the following procedures must be observed: Hot Plugging KVM Ports: When hot plugging cables from the KVM ports: 1. The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from. 2.
Chapter 2. Hardware Setup Powering Off and Restarting If it becomes necessary to Power Off one of the KH98 units, before starting it back up you must do the following: 1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to the unit. If there are stations cascaded down from it, all the cascaded stations and the computers attached to them must be shut down, as well. Note: 1. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function that are connected to the shut down switches.
KH98 User Manual Port ID Numbering Each KVM Port on a KH98 installation is assigned a unique Port ID. You can directly access any computer on any level of the installation by specifying the Port ID of the KVM port that the computer is connected to - either with the Hotkey port selection method, or with the OSD. The Port ID is a one, two, or three digit number. It is determined by the Stage Level and KVM Port number of the KH98 unit that a computer is connected to.
Chapter 2. Hardware Setup Port Selection The KH98 provides three methods to obtain instant access to any computer on your installation: Manual, OSD, and Hotkey. Manual: Simply press the appropriate Port Selection Switch on the unit's front panel. After you press the switch, the Selected LED lights to indicate that the port has the KVM focus. The OSD (see page 19) automatically switches to highlight the computer that you have selected. Note: 1.
