40 D OMINION KSX U SER M ANUAL
Remote Desktop: Power Control
In addition to remote KVM and serial console access, Dominion KSX also offers users the option of graphical, hard
power control. To take advantage of this capability, you should obtain and connect a Raritan remote power control
unit to the dedicated “Power Control” port of Dominion KSX (see Chapter 2: Installation, “Physical Connections”
for more details).
Raritan offers remote power control units in 1U and 0U form factors; offering 8, 12, or 20 outlets; and in
configurations for different voltage, international, and load (amp rating) environments. Contact your Raritan
representative for more information about Raritan remote power control units.
Please note that both the dedicated “Power Control” port and the graphical power control interface described below,
only apply and operate with Raritan brand remote power control units. Similar devices from third party vendors will
not function as described below with the dedicated “Power Control” port on Dominion KSX, however they of
course can be connected to the Dominion KSX serial console ports – just as any other serial device.
Remote Connection
To open a remote connection to initiate remote power control, double-click on the corresponding Navigator entry
named “PowerPort”, as displayed by RRC:
A window displaying the graphical power control interface (called “PowerBoard”), will appear, and the icon found
next to the serial port entry on the RRC Navigator will turn green.
Note: If using Windows XP, Service Pack 1, the graphical power control interface will not appear
if you have two conflicting Java virtual machines installed on your system (i.e., one from Sun
Microsystems, and on from Microsoft).
