To broaden the KX III's compatibility with different KVM target servers, Raritan provides a standard selection of USB configuration profiles for a wide range of operating system and BIOS-level server implementations.
The Generic (default) USB profile meets the needs of the vast majority of deployed KVM target server configurations.
Additional profiles are provided to meet the specific needs of other commonly deployed server configurations (for example, Linux® and Mac OS X®).
There are also a number of profiles (designated by platform name and BIOS revision) to enhance virtual media function compatibility with the target server, for example, when operating at the BIOS level.
USB profiles are configured on the Device Settings > Port Configuration > Port page of the KX III Remote and Local Consoles.
Administrators configure the port with the USB profiles that best meet the needs of the user, and the target server configuration.
A user connecting to a KVM target server chooses among these preselected profiles in the Virtual KVM Client, depending on the operational state of the KVM target server.
For example, if the server is running Windows® operating system, it would be best to use the Generic profile.
To change settings in the BIOS menu or boot from a virtual media drive, depending on the target server model, a BIOS profile may be more appropriate.
Should none of the standard USB profiles provided by Raritan work with a given KVM target, please contact Raritan Technical Support for assistance.
