Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration

E. Target Server Ports

The Dominion KX II uses standard UTP cabling (Cat5/5e/6) to connect to

each target server. See Specifications (on page 254) for additional

information.

To connect a target server to the Dominion KX II:

1. Use the appropriate Computer Interface Module (CIM). See

Supported CIMs and Operating Systems (Target Servers) (on

page 257) for more information about the CIMs to use with each

ope

rating system.

Attach the HD15 video connector of your CIM to the video port of

your target server. Ensure that your target server's video has already

been configured to a supported resolution and refresh rate. For Sun

servers, also ensure that your target server's video card has been

set to output standard VGA (H-and-V sync) and not composite sync.

3. Attach the keyboard/mouse connector of your CIM to the

corresponding ports on your target server. Using a standard straight-

through UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cable, connect the CIM to an available

server port on the back of your Dominion KX II device.

Note: The DCIM-USB G2 provides a small slide switch on the back of the

CIM. Move the switch to P for PC-based USB target servers; move the

switch to S for Sun USB target servers.

A new switch position takes effect only after the CIM is power-cycled. To

power-cycle the CIM, remove the USB connector from the target server

and plug it back in a few seconds later.

Step 2: Dominion KX II Initial Configuration

The first time you power up the Dominion KX II device, there is some

initial configuration that you need to perform through the Dominion KX II

Local Console:

• Change the default password.

• Assign the IP address.

• Name the KVM target servers.
