4.6.2.2. Off-Rack Local Console Cabling
There are no special considerations in connecting the KVM cables to the servers. A local console is a
console in the vicinity of the rack. The cable lengths required for local console connection will depend on
the location of the off-rack consoles or console switches.
4.6.2.3. In-Rack Local Console Cabling Using Server Console Switches
Table 4-3 lists the components used in this section for local console management. Figure 4-21 illustrates
