Question
Answer
What is the extended local port?
The Dominion KX2-808, KX2-832 and KX2-864
featured an extended local port. The
corresponding Dominion KX III models do not
have an extended local port. Instead all KX III
models have a tiering port.
To extend the KX III's digital local port, you can
use the Raritan Cat5 Reach DVI product for
local and remote access up to 500 meters.

Dual Power Supplies
Question
Answer
Does Dominion KX III have a dual
power option?
Yes. All Dominion KX III models come equipped
with dual AC inputs and power supplies with
automatic failover. Should one of the power
inputs or power supplies fail, then the KX III will
automatically switch to the other.
Does the power supply used by
Dominion KX III automatically
detect voltage settings?
Yes. Dominion KX III’s power supply can be
used in AC voltage ranges from 100–240 volts,
at 50–60 Hz.
If a power supply or input fails, will
I be notified?
The Dominion KX III front panel LED will notify
the user of a power failure. An entry will also be
sent to the audit log and displayed on the KX
remote client user interface. If configured by the
administrator, then SNMP or syslog events will
be generated.
Intelligent Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Control
Question
Answer
What type of remote power control
capabilities does Dominion KX III
offer?
Raritan’s intelligent PDUs can be connected to
the Dominion KX III to provide power control of
target servers and other equipment. For
servers, after a simple one-time configuration
step, just click on the server name to power on,
off or to recycle a hung server.
