This table contains information on limitations and constraints that apply to configuring blade chassis to work with the KX III. Raritan recommends that all of the information below is followed.

Dell^® PowerEdge^™ M1000e

• Disable the iKVM GUI screensaver. An authorize dialog will appear, preventing iKVM from working correctly, if this is not done.
• Exit the iKVM GUI menu before attaching Dell's chassis to a Raritan CIM. iKVM may not work correctly if this is not done.
• Configure the iKVM GUI Main menu to select target blades by Slot, not by Name. iKVM may not work correctly if this is not done.
• Do not designate any slots for scan operations in the iKVM GUI Setup Scan menu. iKVM may not work correctly otherwise.
• Do not designate any slots for broadcast keyboard/mouse operations in the iKVM GUI Setup Broadcast menu. iKVM may not work correctly otherwise.
• Designate a single key sequence to invoke the iKVM GUI. This key sequence must also be identified during KX III port configuration. Otherwise, indiscriminate iKVM operation may occur as a result of client key entry.
• Ensure that Front Panel USB/Video Enabled is not selected during iKVM configuration via the Dell CMC GUI. Otherwise, connections made at the front of chassis will take precedence over the KX III connection at the rear, preventing proper iKVM operation. A message will be displayed stating 'User has been disabled as front panel is currently active.'
• Ensure that 'Allow access to CMC CLI from iKVM' is not selected during iKVM configuration via the Dell CMC GUI.
• To avoid having the iKVM GUI display upon connecting to the blade chassis, set the Screen Delay Time to 8 seconds.
• Recommend that 'Timed' and 'Displayed' be selected during iKVM GUI Flag Setup. This will allow you to visually confirm the connection to the desired blade slot.

Dell PowerEdge 1855/1955

• Disable the iKVM GUI screensaver. An Authorize dialog will appear if this is not done and will prevent the iKVM from operating correctly.
• Exit the iKVM GUI menu before attaching Dell's chassis to a Raritan CIM. iKVM may not work correctly if this is not done.
• Configure the iKVM GUI Main menu to select target blades by Slot, not by Name. iKVM may not work correctly if this is not done.
• Do not designate any slots for scan operations in the iKVM GUI Setup Scan menu or the iKVM may not work properly.
• To avoid having the iKVM GUI display upon connecting to the blade chassis, set the Screen Delay Time to 8 seconds.
• Recommend that 'Timed' and 'Displayed' be selected during iKVM GUI Flag Setup. This will allow you to visually confirm the connection to the desired blade slot.

IBM^®/Dell^® Auto-Discovery

• It is recommended that Auto-Discovery be enabled when applying blade level access permissions. Otherwise, set access permissions on a blade-chassis wide basis.
• Secure Shell (SSH) must be enabled on the blade chassis management module.
• The SSH port configured on the blade chassis management module and the port number entered on the Port Configuration page must match.

IBM KX3 Virtual Media

• Raritan KX III virtual media is supported only on IBM BladeCenter^® Models H and E. This requires the use of the D2CIM-DVUSB. The black D2CIM-DVUSB Low-Speed USB connector is attached to the Administrative Management Module (AMM) at the rear of the unit. The gray D2CIM-DVUSB High-Speed USB connector is attached to the Media Tray (MT) at the front of the unit. This will require a USB extension cable.

Cisco^® UCS Server Chassis

• The Cisco KVM cable (N20-BKVM) enables you to perform server blade administration, configuration, and diagnostic procedures by connecting video and USB devices directly to the server blade.
