CIM installation requires that computers are assigned names when added to the CIM chain. The
default name of any CIM is its serial number. In order to name the IM, it must be connected,
powered on and connected to the UMT to get status and name assignment.
To organize and track CIMs and the computers to which they are connected, Raritan recommends
one of two methods: either record the serial numbers of the CIMs connected to each target, and
then name all CIMs at one time once the chain is complete, or first complete the chain and then
power on the CIMs one at a time, checking the serial number on the CIM as it is connected, and
assigning the proper name to the proper target.
When naming or renaming a CIM, switch to that CIM to activate it, thereby ensuring that its new
name is updated in the UMT database.
Note: When following the installation and configuration instructions below, sort the Selection
Menu by Channel ID Number, not by Name. Display the menu by pressing the F2 key on your
keyboard and change the sorting method by pressing the F12 key.
All Paragon II components must be powered ON prior to Z-CIM or P2ZCIM tier installation. All
computers in the CIM chain and all components must be powered OFF prior to installation.
