Cascading Console Switches 29

HP IP Console Switch

CAUTION: Do not use Interface Adapters to cascade HP IP

Console Switches with HP KVM Server Console Switches. If Interface

Adapters are used to cascade these products, undesirable operations

might occur.

CAUTION: While cascading console switches, be sure that

the HP KVM Server Console Switch is cascaded below the HP IP

Console Switch. Undesirable operations might occur if these specific

cascading sequences are not followed.

The following HP IP Console Switches can be integrated into the HP KVM

Server Console Switch system. Compatible HP IP Console Switch models

include:

• 1 x 1 x 16 [PN: 262585 (B-21)]

• 3 x 1 x 16 [PN: 262586 (B-21)]

All HP IP Console Switches must be upgraded with SoftPaq firmware, version

2.1.1 or later, when cascaded with this product.

Cascading an HP KVM Server Console Switch with

another HP KVM Server Console Switch

NOTE: To perform a firmware upgrade for a cascaded HP KVM Server

Console Switch and all attached Interface Adapters, you must locally

connect the keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the cascaded HP KVM

Server Console Switch to access the local OSD.

1. Mount the console switches in the rack.

2. Locate a UTP CAT5 cable and connect one end to the server connection port

("Components" on page 17) on the cascaded HP KVM Server Console

Switch.

3. Connect the other end of that same UTP CAT5 cable to the RJ-45 port on the

Interface Adapter.

4. Connect the Interface Adapter to the appropriate ports on the server.
