Pluggable Devices Installation and Configuration
Before pluggable devices (PC cards and/or USB devices) can be inserted and configured,
pluggable device detection must be enabled.
NOTE: Go to http://www.avocent.com to see the current list of supported pluggable devices. When a pluggable
device is not in the current list of supported pluggable devices, the console server may attempt to configure the
device with standard settings, allowing it to work normally.
NOTE: When a pluggable device is not listed in the internal database, the Device Info column may show no text at all
or show different text based on the type of card. One example is Unknown device f024 (rev 01).
To enable Pluggable Device Detection:
1. Select Pluggable Devices in the web manager.
2. Click Enable Pluggable Device Detection.
To install and configure a pluggable device:
1. Insert the PC card into an available slot or connect the USB device.
2. Select Pluggable Devices in the web manager. The Pluggable Devices table is displayed
and all detected pluggable devices are shown.
3. Click on the pluggable device name and configure the pluggable device parameters.
NOTE: Storage devices are automatically mounted and configured. Configuration of wireless devices takes effect
only after the device is ejected and re-inserted.
To eject a pluggable device:
NOTE: Always use the Web Manager to eject a pluggable device. Any other method may cause a kernel panic.
1. Select Pluggable Devices in the web manager.
2. Select the checkbox next to the pluggable device you want to eject, click Eject and
remove the pluggable device.
To rename a pluggable device (available for LAN devices):
1. Select Pluggable Devices in the web manager.
2. Check the box next to the pluggable device name you want to rename, then click Rename.
