Video Connections
The iKVM has video connections on the front and rear panels of the chassis. The front panel connection signals take precedence over that
of the rear panel. When a monitor is connected to the front panel, the video connection does not pass through to the rear panel, and an
OSCAR message displays stating that the rear panel KVM and ACI connections are disabled. If the monitor is disabled (that is, removed
from the front panel or disabled by a CMC command), the ACI connection becomes active while the rear panel KVM remains disabled.

Preemption Warning
Normally, a user connected to a server console through the iKVM and another user connected to the same server console through the
iDRAC Web interface console redirection feature both have access to the console and are able to type simultaneously.
To prevent this scenario, before starting the iDRAC Web interface console redirection, the remote user can disable the local console in the
iDRAC Web interface. The local iKVM user sees an OSCAR message that the connection is preempted in a specied amount of time. The
local user should nish using the console before the iKVM connection to the server is terminated.
There is no preemption feature available to the iKVM user.
NOTE
: If a remote iDRAC user has disabled the local video for a specic server, that server's video, keyboard and mouse is
unavailable to the iKVM. The server state is marked with a yellow dot in the OSCAR menu to indicate that it is locked or
unavailable for local use see Viewing Server Status.
