Chapter 5: Paragon II and P2ZCIMs/Z-CIMs123individual P2ZCIM units at least one P2ZCIM must be powered ON; inP2ZCIM chains from 21 to 42 P2ZCIM units, at least 15 P2ZCIMs mustbe powered ON.P2ZCIM LED StatusThe LED on each P2ZCIM indicates its operational state:• If the LED blinks rapidly: P2ZCIM does not have a confirmedCommunication Address.• If the LED is primarily off and blinks on every two (2) seconds:P2ZCIM has a confirmed Communication Address but is notswitched to that Address.• If the LED is on and blinks on/off rapidly when there iskeyboard/mouse traffic: CIM has a confirmed CommunicationAddress and is switched to that Address.Note: The P2ZCIM will blink from time to time even if there is nokeyboard/mouse traffic; this demonstrates that the P2ZCIM isoperating normally and not locked.• If the LED is blinking on and off but at a regulated, moderate speed(that is, every half second): that P2ZCIM is acting as Manager of thechain.Paragon II and Z-CIMsZ‐CIM installation requires that servers are assigned names when addedto the Z‐CIM chain. The default name of any Z‐CIM is its serial number,which is not meaningful to you. In order to name the Z‐CIM, it must beconnected to a server that is powered on and to the Paragon switch to getstatus and name assignment.To organize and track Z‐CIMs and the servers to which they areconnected, we recommend one of two methods:• Record the serial numbers of the Z‐CIMs connected to each server,and then name all Z‐CIMs at one time after the chain is complete.• First complete the chain and then power on the Z‐CIM one at a time,checking the serial number on the Z‐CIM as it is connected, andassigning the proper name to the proper server Z‐CIM.When naming or renaming a Z‐CIM, switch to that Z‐CIM to activate it,thereby ensuring that its new name is updated in the Paragon switchʹsdatabase.
