Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration29Connection Descriptionport.Keyboard Attach a standard USB keyboard toone of the USB Type A (female)ports.Mouse Attach a standard USB mouse to oneof the USB Type A (female) ports.E. Target Server PortsThe KX II uses standard UTP cabling (Cat5/5e/6) to connect to eachtarget server.To connect a target server to the KX II:1. Use the appropriate Computer Interface Module (CIM). SeeSupported CIMs and Operating Systems (Target Servers) for moreinformation about the CIMs to use with each operating system.2. Attach the HD15 video connector of your CIM to the video port ofyour target server. Ensure that your target server's video has alreadybeen configured to a supported resolution and refresh rate. For Sunservers, also ensure that your target server's video card has beenset to output standard VGA (H-and-V sync) and not composite sync.3. Attach the keyboard/mouse connector of your CIM to thecorresponding ports on your target server. Using a standardstraight-through UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cable, connect the CIM to anavailable server port on the back of your KX II device.Note: The DCIM-USB G2 provides a small slide switch on the back of theCIM. Move the switch to P for PC-based USB target servers. Move theswitch to S for Sun USB target servers.A new switch position takes effect only after the CIM is power-cycled. Topower-cycle the CIM, remove the USB connector from the target serverand plug it back in a few seconds later.Step 4: Configure the KX IIThe first time you power up the KX II device, there is some initialconfiguration that you need to perform through the KX II Local Console: Change the default password. Assign the IP address. Name the KVM target servers.
