Power Control

Does the power supply used by the Dominion KSX automatically detect voltage settings?

Yes. The Dominion KSX's power supply can be used in AC voltage ranges from 100-240 volts, at 50-60 Hz.

What type of power control capabilities does the Dominion KSX offer?

Raritan's Remote Power Control power strips can be connected to the Dominion KSX to provide power control of the KVM target servers. After a simple one-time configuration step, just right click the server name to power on, off, or recycle a hung server. Note that a hard reboot provides the physical equivalent of unplugging the server from the AC power line, and reinserting the plug.

Does the Dominion KSX support servers with multiple power supplies? What if each power supply is connected to a different power strip?

Yes. The Dominion KSX can be easily configured to support multiple power supplies connected to multiple power strips. Two (2) power strips can be connected to a Dominion KSX device. Four power supplies can be connected per target server to multiple power strips.

Does remote power control require any special server configuration?

Some servers ship with default BIOS settings such that the server does not automatically restart after losing and regaining power. For these servers, see the server's documentation to change this setting.

What type of power strips does the Dominion KSX support?

To take advantage of the Dominion KSX's integrated power control user interface and, more importantly, integrated security, use Raritan's Remote Power Control (RPC) power strips or Dominion PX power strips.

RPCs come in many outlet, connector, and amp variations. The D2CIM-PWR must be purchased to connect the RPC to the Dominion KSX.

The Dominion PX is an intelligent power distribution unit that allows you to reboot remote servers and other network devices, and monitor power in the data center, through Raritan's KVM switches and Secure Console Servers.
