1 CHAPTER 1 Product Overview Features and Benefits Avocent DSR® switches combine analog and digital technology to provide flexible, centralized control of data center servers and facilitate the OA&M (operations, activation and maintenance) of remote branch offices where trained operators may be unavailable. They provide enterprise customers with a significant reduction of cable volume, secure remote access and flexible server management from anywhere at anytime.
2 DSR1024 Switch Installer/User Guide Access the DSR1024 switch via network connection No special software or drivers are required on the attached, or client, computers. NOTE: The client connects to the server housing the DSView® management software using an Internet browser. For modem access, you must install DSR Remote Operations software included on the DSView 3 software CD-ROM (see the DSView Installer/User Guide for more information).
Chapter 1: Product Overview 3 Safety Precautions To avoid potential video and keyboard problems when using Avocent products: • If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computer and monitor are on the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit. To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe the following precautions: • Do not use a 2-wire power cord in any Avocent product configuration.
