252 Using the iKVM Module

• Standard USB pointing devices.

• Self-powered USB 1.1 hubs connected to the local USB port on the iKVM.

• Powered USB 2.0 hubs connected to the Dell M1000e chassis’ front panel

console.

NOTE: You can use multiple keyboards and mice on the iKVM local USB port. The

iKVM aggregates the input signals. If there are simultaneous input signals from

multiple USB keyboards or mice, it may have unpredictable results.

NOTE: The USB connections are solely for supported keyboard, mouse, and USB

hubs. iKVM does not support data transmitted from other USB peripherals.

Viewing and Selecting Servers

Use the OSCAR Main dialog box to view, configure, and manage servers

through the iKVM. You can view your servers by name or by slot. The slot

number is the chassis slot number the server occupies. The Slot column

indicates the slot number in which a server is installed.

NOTE: The Dell CMC command line occupies Slot 17. Selecting this slot displays

the CMC command line, where you can execute remote RACADM commands or

connect to servers and modules for debugging.

NOTE: Server names and slot numbers are assigned by the CMC.

To access the Main dialog box:

Press <Print Screen> to launch the OSCAR interface. The

Main dialog box

appears.

If a password has been assigned, the Password dialog box appears. Type your

password and click OK. The

Main dialog box appears.

For more information about setting a password, see "Setting Console

Security" on page 255.

NOTE: There are four options for invoking OSCAR. You can enable one, multiple, or

all of these key sequences by selecting boxes in the Invoke OSCAR section of the

Main dialog box and then clicking OK.
