1 Overview The HP IP Console Switch combines analog and digital technology to provide flexible, centralized keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) control of data center servers. This solution provides enterprise customers with a significant reduction in cable volume, secure remote access, and high performance server KVM access. Each unit has 16 server ports (with RJ-45 connections) and provides optimal digital video performance with a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz, up to 15.
Overview Features The features of the IP Console Switch include: 1-2 • Both local and IP KVM functionality • Support for up to 128 servers • Firmware flashable over serial port and NIC • Compatibility with HP video monitors and “hotkeys” on all HP keyboards, including the HP TFT5600RKM • Field-terminable CAT5 cables • Near real-time mouse/cursor speed • Multiple language support through programmable ROM SoftPaq—English, Spanish, French, Dutch, German, Italian, and Japanese • Support for 10
Overview Benefits The benefits of the IP Console Switch include: • Significant reduction of KVM cable volume by using an Interface Adapter and single unshielded twisted pair (UTP) CAT5 cabling • Facilitation of KVM access in higher server density environments because of an increase in the number of ports available • KVM access through network connection — No special software or drivers are required on the attached computers, including the host.

2 Installing the IP Console Switch You must install the IP Console Viewer prior to using the IP Console Switch. The IP Console Viewer enables you to view and control a server attached to the console switch system, configure and maintain the system, and prevent unauthorized access to the console switch through IP connection. For more information, refer to the HP IP Console Switch Software Guide included on the Rack Products Documentation CD.
Installing the IP Console Switch Installation Checklist Before installing the IP Console Switch, refer to the following lists to be sure that all of the listed components were received. Kit Contents • IP Console Switch • Power cords • Rack mounting kit • Download serial cable • Documentation kit • Firmware/software CD • CAT5 crossover cable Required Tool You need a Phillips screwdriver.
Installing the IP Console Switch Setting up Your Network The IP Console Switch system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the console swtiches and computers running the IP Console Viewer. The IP Console Switch supports both BootP (a subset of DHCP) and static IP addressing. HP recommends that IP addresses be reserved for each unit and that they remain static while the console switches are connected to the network.

B Electrostatic Discharge Preventing Electrostatic Damage A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage can reduce the life expectancy of the device. To prevent electrostatic damage when setting up the system or handling parts: • Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
Electrostatic Discharge Grounding Methods To Prevent Electrostatic Damage There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts: • Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
C Power Cord Set Requirements The power cord set meets the requirements for use in the country where you purchased your equipment. The voltage selection switch enables you to select the appropriate line voltage for your server. Power cord sets for use in other countries must meet the requirements of the country where you use the server. For more information on power cord set requirements, contact your HP authorized dealer.
