D. KVM Target Server Ports

The Dominion KSX uses standard UTP cabling (Cat5/5e/6) to connect to each target server. Refer to Specifications for additional information.

To connect a KVM target server to the Dominion KSX:

  1. Use the appropriate Computer Interface Module (CIM). Refer to Supported Operating Systems and CIMs (KVM Target Servers) for more information about the CIMs to use with each operating system.
  2. Attach the HD15 video connector of your CIM to the video port of your KVM 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 KSX 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.
