In the above table, if the check () is accompanied by the phrase “(connected to blade)”, then the
CIM is connected to each individual blade server. Otherwise the CIM connects to the blade chassis’
internal KVM switch or the management module.
When connecting to individual Dell 1855/1995 blades, the “USB Front Dongle for Dell PowerEdge
1855/1955” cable is required; manufacturer part number N8138 and Dell part number 310-6484.
When connecting to individual HP c3000 and c7000 blades, the “HP c-Class Blade SUV Cable” is used;
part # is 416003-001. Note: the internal KVM module for the HP c3000 is not supported in this
release.
Virtual media and advanced mouse synchronization is supported on blade servers where a CIM is
connected to each blade server, assuming the operating system on the blade supports these features.
Virtual media is also supported on the IBM Blade Center E and H chassis when using the D2CIM-
DVUSB with the gray USB plug connected to the media tray (front panel) and the black plug to the
management module (back panel). The connection to the Media Tray (front panel) will require the use
of an USB extension cable connected to the gray USB plug on the D2CIM-DVUSB. Auto-discovery
must be enabled on the KX II Port Configuration page for virtual media to work.
Please note that the Paragon blade server CIMs (P2CIM-AUSB-B and P2CIM-APS2-B) should not be
used with the Dominion KX II.
See the documentation and release notes for more information on the blade server feature.
Smart Card and CAC Usage
The Dominion KX II based Smart Card / CAC Solution is available as of Release 2.1.10, available June
30, 2009. The D2CIM-DVUSB is required for Smart Card and US Government Common
Access Card (CAC) use. No other CIM will support a Smart Card connection to a target server.
Digital Audio over IP
The Dominion KX II based Audio over Virtual Media feature is available as of Release 2.4, available
June 30, 2011. The Release 2.4 CIM firmware versions of 3A88 or 5A88 (or greater) is required for
the D2CIM-DVUSB. The D2CIM-DVUSB-xxx digital CIMs also support audio.
When upgrading to the Release 2.4 firmware, all attached CIMS will be upgraded. For non-attached
CIMs, you can use the “CIM Firmware Update” feature to upgrade these CIMs.
