78 PARAGON II USER GUIDE
Paragon II and Z-CIMs
Z-CIM installation requires that servers are assigned names when added to the Z-CIM chain. The
default name of any Z-CIM is its serial number, which is not meaningful to you. In order to name
the Z-CIM, it must be connected to a server that is powered on and to the matrix switch’s to get
status and name assignment.
To organize and track Z-CIMs and the servers to which they are connected, we recommend one
of two methods:
• Record the serial numbers of the Z-CIMs connected to each server, and then name all
Z-CIMs at one time once the chain is complete.
• First complete the chain and then power on the Z-CIMs one at a time, checking the serial
number on the Z-CIM as it is connected, and assigning the proper name to the proper server
Z-CIM.
When naming or renaming a Z-CIM, switch to that Z-CIM to activate it, thereby ensuring that its
new name is updated in the matrix switch’s database.

All Paragon II components must be powered ON prior to Z-CIM tier installation. All servers and
components in the Z-CIM 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.
