second power socket on the rear of the RCS, and plug the other end into a
different power source.
NOTE: Plug the redundant power supplies into separate branch circuits to
provide additional redundancy in the event one external AC power source
should go away.
8 (Optional) Connect the virtual media devices or smart card readers to any
of the USB ports on the switch.
NOTE: For all virtual media sessions, you must use a USB2 or USB2+CAC
SIP.
Connecting a SIP
To connect a SIP to each server:
1 Locate the SIPs for your RCS.
2 If you are using a PS/2 SIP connection, attach the color-coded ends of the
SIP cable to the appropriate keyboard, monitor, and mouse ports on the
first server you will be connecting to this RCS. If you are using a USB
connection, attach the plug from the SIP to the USB port on the first server
you will be connecting to this RCS.
3 To the RJ-45 connector on the SIP, attach one end of the CAT 5 cabling
that will run from your SIP to the RCS. See Figure 2.9.
4 Connect the other end of the CAT 5 cable to the desired Avocent Rack
Interface (ARI) port on the back of your RCS.
5 Repeat steps 2-4 for all servers you wish to attach.
NOTE: Power down the RCS before servicing. Always disconnect the jumper
cord from the power source.
NOTE: In addition to Dell SIPs, the RCS may also be connected to devices
using Avocent IQ modules, including Sun and Serial IQ modules.
