74 PARAGON II USER GUIDE
Paragon II and P2ZCIMs
P2ZCIM installation requires that each server be assigned a channel name as it is added to the
P2ZCIM chain. Server channels are organized alphanumerically by the assigned names or the
default names of P2ZCIMs -- the serial numbers, rather than in the order of their placement
within the P2ZCIM chain. We recommend that users assign channel names before connecting all
servers to eliminate any difficulty in locating the respective channel for each server. When
naming or renaming a P2ZCIM, switch to that P2ZCIM to activate it, thereby ensuring that its
new name is updated in the matrix switch’s database.
Connecting P2ZCIMs as Tiers
The following diagram shows the final setup when connecting Paragon II Z-CIMs (P2ZCIMs) as
a tier:

Figure 70 Connecting P2ZCIMs as Tiers to Paragon II
All Paragon II components must be powered ON prior to P2ZCIM tier installation. All servers in
the P2ZCIM chain must be powered OFF prior to installation.
When following the installation and configuration instructions below, sort the Selection Menu by
channel number, not by name. Display the menu by pressing the F2 key on your keyboard and
change the sorting method by pressing the F12 key.
Connect a P2ZCIM as a Tier:
1. Connect a Category 5e UTP cable to the channel port on the Paragon II matrix switch
reserved for the P2ZCIM chain.
2. Connect the other end of this Category 5e UTP cable to the UTP OUT (O) port on a P2ZCIM,
which will be the first P2ZCIM in the chain.
3. Connect a server to the first P2ZCIM.
A. Connect the 6-pin mini-DIN keyboard and mouse and HD15 video connectors on the
P2ZCIM to computer’s keyboard, mouse, and video ports.
B. Place the P2ZCIM Terminator in the P2ZCIM’s UTP IN (I) port.
