1. Product Overview

1.1 Features and Benefits

Fujitsu s3-0801/1601 KVMswitches provide control of data center servers. The
switches provide users with a significant reduction of cable volume.

TheFujitsu s3-0801/1601 switch family has several options depending on the
model:

• a rack mountable keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switch, configurable for
analog (local) connectivity

• support for VGA, SVGA, SGA and SXGA video

• video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200

• cascading expansion; each switch supports up to 16 directly attached
servers and can conveniently scale to support more

Reduce cable bulk

With server densities continually increasing, cable bulk remains a major concern
for network administrators. The s3-0801/1601 switches significantly reduce KVM
cable volume in the rack by utilizing the innovative IQ module and single,
industry-standard Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling or the SMBAdapter
USB-VGAcabling option. This allows a higher server density while providing
greater airflow and cooling capacity.

The IQ and SMB Adapter modules are powered directly from the target device
and provide Keep Alive functionality when the switch is not turned on. The serial
IQ module is a DCE device that provides the primary interface between a serial
device and a s3-0801/1601 switch. It provides VT100 terminal emulation, break
suppression and port history in a compact, convenient module.

2.3 Rack Mounting a Switch

Getting started

Before installing your switch, refer to the following lists to ensure you have all
items that shipped with the switch, as well as other items necessary for proper
installation.

Supplied with the switch

• Power cord

• Rack mounting brackets

• s3-0801/1601 Switch Quick Installation Guide

Additional items needed

• One IQ module per target server. SMBAdapter USB-VGA cables can also be
used.

• One UTP patch cable per IQ module (4-pair UTP, up to 30 meters)

• UTP patch cable(s) for network connectivity (4-pair UTP, up to 30 meters)

Setting up your network

The s3-0801/1601 KVMswitching system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify
the switch and the target devices. The switch family supports both Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and static IP addressing. Fujitsu recommends that
IP addresses be reserved for each switch and that they remain static while the
switches are connected to the network.

2.3 Rack Mounting a Switch

A rack mounting kit is supplied with each switch. You may either place the switch
on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into an Electronic Industries Alliance
(EIA) standard rack.

Switches are rack mounted in a 1U configuration. The s3-0801/1601 switch
family does not support a 0U configuration.

Rack mounting safety considerations

• Rack Loading: Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or
rack failure, causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury.
Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount
components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not
exceed your rack load rating.

590-1035-640A

5

2. Installation

• Power Considerations: Connect only to the power source specified on the
unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that
the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities.
Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock
hazards.

• Elevated Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed rack assembly, the
operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Use care not to exceed the rated maximum ambient temperature of
the switch.

• Reduced Air Flow: Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of
airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

• Reliable Earthing: Maintain reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment.
Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

To install the rack mounting bracket:

1. Remove the two rack mounting screws from each side of the switch.

2. Place the rack mounting brackets next to the switch.

3. Insert the screws supplied with the rack mounting kit through the holes of the
brackets and into the switch. Tighten the screws securely.

4. Install the switch into the rack using the method of the rack manufacturer.

2.4 Connecting the Switch Hardware

To connect and turn on your switch:

CAUTION: You must turn off all servers that will be part of your switching system. Wait until step 6 to turn

on your switch.

1. Plug your monitor and either PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse cables into
the appropriately labeled ports on the switch.

2. Plug a compatible IQ or SMBAdapter USB-VGA module into the appropriate
ports on the back of the target server.

3. Choose an available numbered port on the rear of the switch. Plug the SMB
Adapter cable or one end of a UTP patch cable (4-pair, up to 45 meters) into
the selected port and plug the other end into the RJ-45 connector of the IQ
module. Repeat this procedure for all servers that are to be connected to the
switch.

6

590-1035-640A

2.4 Connecting the Switch Hardware

When connecting a Sun IQ module, you must use a multi-syncmonitor in the localport
to accommodate Sun computers that support VGAor compositesync.

4. Locate the power cord that came with the switch and plug the appropriate
end into the power socket on the rear of the switch. Plug the other end into
an appropriate AC wall outlet.

To avoid potential video and/or keyboard problems: If the building has3-phase
AC power, ensure that the computer and monitor are on the same phase. For best
results, they shouldbe on the same circuit.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your
equipment:

- Do not disable the power cord grounding plug.The grounding plugis an important
safety feature.

- Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easilyaccessibleat all
times.

- Disconnectthe power from the switchby unpluggingthe power cord from either the
electricaloutlet or

the appliance.

- The AC inlet isthe main power disconnect.

5. Turn on the switch and monitor, then turn on each target device. After about
one minute, the switch completes initialization and displays the graphical
user interface Free tag on the local port monitor.

6. You can configure the network settings through the OSD or the OBWI.

To configure network settings via the OSD:

1. Press Print Screen to activate the Main dialog box.

2. Click Setup - Network and enter the appropriate Network Speed,
Transmission Mode and Network Configuration settings for your network.

To configure network settings via the OBWI:

• The STATUS LED indicates that a valid selection has been made to a switch.

2.5 Cascading Switches

In a cascaded configuration, multiple Fujitsuswitches are connected to one
another via CAT5 cable and managed by a single primary switch. The s3­0801/1601 switch can serve as either the primary or secondary switch in a
cascaded configuration.

To cascade multiple switches if the secondary switch has an ACI port:

1. Using an appropriate length of CAT 5 cable, connect the ACI port on the
secondary switch to an available port on the primary switch.

2. Repeat step 1 for all additional cascaded switches.

To cascade multiple switches if the secondary switch does not have an ACI
port:

1. Connect a KVM-IAmodule to the local peripheral ports on the secondary
switch.

2. Using an appropriate length of CAT 5 cable, connect the KVM-IAmodule
from step 1 to an available port on the primary switch.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all additional cascaded switches.

4. Turn on the primary switch.

5. Turn on the cascaded switch.

6. Repeat step 5 for all additional cascaded switches.

Setting the keyboard country code

Using a keyboard code that supports a language different from that of your switch
firmware willcauseincorrect keyboard mapping.

Sun servers may use keyboard mappings for non-US keyboards. By default, the
s3-0801/1601 switch sends the US keyboard country code to Sun and USB
modules attached to target devices, and the code is applied to the target devices
when they are turned on or rebooted. Codes are then stored in the IQ module.

Issues may arise when you use the US keyboard country code with a keyboard of
another country. For example, the Z key on a US keyboard is in the same location
as the Y key on a German keyboard. Sun servers will interpret pressing the Y key
on a German keyboard as pressing the Z key when the US keyboard country
code is used.

The Keyboard dialog box enables you to send a different keyboard country code
than the default US setting. The specified country code is sent to all target
devices attached to the switches when they are turned on or rebooted, and the
new code is stored in the IQ module.

If an IQ module is moved to a different target device, the keyboard country code will
need to be reset.

See "Sun Advanced Key Emulation" on page 47 for information on emulating
certain Sun keys using a PS/2 keyboard and special considerations for Japanese
and Korean Sun USBkeyboards.

To set the keyboard country code for Sun servers:

1. Activate the OSD and click Setup - Keyboard to open the Keyboard dialog
box.

2. Select a country code and click OK to save your settings.

3. Reboot the Sun servers. After rebooting, each Sun server will request the
country code setting stored in the IQ module.

If youwish to reboot the target devices by power-cyclingthem, you must wait 90
secondsbefore rebooting. A soft reboot may be performed without waiting90 seconds.

3.2 Setup Dialog Box Functions

Assigning device types

To access the OSD Devices dialog box:

1. Activate the OSD and click Setup - Devices to open the Devices dialog box.

The Modify button is availableonly if a configurable switch is selected.

When the switch discovers a cascaded switch, the numbering format changes
from a s3-0801/1601 port only to [s3-0801/1601]-[switch port] to accommodate
each target device under that switch.

For example, if a switch is connected to s3-0801/1601 port 6, each target device
connected to it would be numbered sequentially. The target device using s3­0801/1601 port 6, switch port 1, would be 06-01, the target device using s3­0801/1601 port 6, switch port 2, would be 06-02, and so on.

To assign a device type:

1. In the Devices dialog box, select the desired port number.

2. Click Modify to open the Device Modify dialog box.

3. Choose the number of ports supported by your switch and click OK.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each port requiring a device type to be assigned.

5. Click OK in the Devices dialog box to save settings.

Changes made inthe DeviceModify dialog boxare not savedto the switch untilyou click

Assigning target device names

Use the Names dialog box to identify target devices by name rather than by port
number. The Names list is always sorted by port order. You can toggle between
displaying the name or the EID number of each IQ module, so even if you move
the target device to another port, the name and configuration will be recognized
by the switch.

When itisinitiallyconnected, a target device willnot appear in the Names list until it is
turned on. Oncean initial connection has been made, itwillappear in the Names list
even when turned off.

To access the OSD interface Names dialog box, activate the OSD interface and
