General Information

Overview

KVM2132P / KVM2116P / KVM1116P KVM Switches

NOTE: Save these instructions. Read and adhere to all the instructions. All servicing must be performed

by authorized personnel only. The KVM switch allows local and remote users to monitor and access multiple servers from a single

console. The switch models differ by number of buses and KVM ports.

SKU Bus Support KVM Ports KVM2132P 1 Local, 2 Remote 32 KVM2116P 1 Local, 2 Remote 16 KVM1116P 1 Local shared with 1Remote 16

• Each bus permits a separate user session so that up to three (KVM2132P or KVM2116P) concurrent independent connections to the attached servers can take place.

• The switches use TCP/IP communications protocol. They can be accessed by their IP addresses from anywhere on the LAN, WAN, or Internet. The location of the connecting computer is irrelevent.

• Remote users log in using a browser or stand-alone Windows or Java GUI applications. Java allows the switches to work with JRE (Java Runtime Environment) enabled operating systems, ensuring multi-platform operability.

• The client software allows operators to exchange keyboard, video and mouse signals with the servers attached to the switches just as if they were working on the equipment directly.

• Up to 32 (KVM2132P) users can share the switch's buses. A Message Board fea ture allows them to communicate with each other to facilitate port sharing.

• Administrators can perform maintenance tasks from installing and running GUI applications, to BIOS level troubleshooting, routine monitoring, concurrent maintenance, and system administration.

• Local console operation is accomplished by entering hotkey combinations from the keyboa rd with a full screen GUI display.

• The Auto Scan feature permits automatic switching fro m port to port at user-specified intervals, while the Panel Array Mode can display the video output of up to 42 servers at the same time.

• CAT 5e cable links the switch to the servers. A 16 or 32 port switch can be installed in a 1U rack, and use the internal network wiring in most modern commercial buildings.

• The switch receives keyboard input directly. There is no software installation.

• Download firmware updates from www.apc.com.

• Adapter ID function stores port information like the adapter ID, OS, keyboard language, adapter name, operation modes and more. When a KVM Adapter Cable is moved from one port to another, the switch recognizes the adapter cable at the new location.

• Upgrade the entire installation from a single remote console located anywhere in the world.

• Virtual Media support.

KVM2132P / KVM2116P KVM Switches only

• Dual power is available on KVM2132P and KVM2116P. Power cords plugged into separate power sources ensure power to the switch if one power sources fails.

• Variable fan speed: changes according to the switches temperature.

• PDU connection port allows administrators to boot or reboot servers.

• Two 10/100/1000 Mbps NICs for redundant LAN or two IP operations.

Tiering Multiple KVM Switches

aem0376a

KVM1116P

KVM-PS2

A tiered installation will greatly expand the number of servers that can be added to the installation. Cascaded tiering adds capacity to a KVM installation, but the parent loses at least one KVM p ort for each tiered KVM switch. KVM2132P, and KVM2116P support tiering up to 3 levels. When the KVM consoles of the first-level KVM switch invoke the OSD, all computers on the tiered KVM installation are listed in the port directory.

KVM1116P Two Level Installation

Up to 16 additional KVM switches can be tiered from the KVM port s of the origin al KVM switch. As many as 256 servers can be controlled in a complete two level installation. In a tiered installation, the (KVM1116P) switch is considered the First Level or Parent unit, the tiered switches are considered Second Level or Child units (KVM0116A / KVM0108A). Turn off power to all the devices, including all pre-existing devices on the installation.

1. Use Cat 5e cable to connect any available KVM Port on the First Level unit (KVM1116P) to a KVM-PS2 Adapter Cable.

2. Plug the adapter cable's KVM connectors to the Keyboard, Vide o, and Mouse Console ports of the Second Level switch (KVM0116A / KVM0108A).

3. Connect any available KVM port on the Second Level unit to the Keyboard, Video, and Mouse ports of the server.

4. Power on the First Level switch, then power on the Second Level switches .

5. Turn the servers on last.

Three Level Installation and (1 or 2) Bus Configurations

KVM2132P (or KVM2116P)

KVM0216A *

aem0380a

KVM0216A *

In tiered installations, the number of bus connection s between a paren t and child KVM switch determines the number of users that can simultaneously a ccess the KVM port s of a child switch. A bu s connection is established by connecting a KVM port on the parent switch to a LAN port on the child switch. The KVM switch KVM2132P (or KVM2116P) supports a maximum of two bus connections for each tiered switch.

In a two-bus tiered configuration, two bus connections between every parent switch and child switch in the installation are created so both KVM consoles on the first-level KVM switch can access the KVM ports of any tiered switches at the same time. Console connectors of the child switches ar e inoperable.

In a one-bus tiered configuration only a single bus connection is created between a parent switch and a child switch. Only one of the consoles connected to the p arent switch h as access to a child switch at any time. The second console can still control and access the port s of the par ent switch. Only one console of each child switch is available to access the KVM ports on the same level or lower level switch. KVM consoles connected to tiered switches cannot access the ports of a parent switch and can perform only port switching and user profile changes. No other administrative functions can be executed.

Cable Length Considerations

NOTE: KVM server modules are also referred to as KVM adapter cables.

• Do not exceed 66 feet (20m) between the switch and the local monitor.

• The distance between the First Level (Parent) KVM switch an d the Second Level (Child) KVM

switch must not exceed 93 feet (30m).

• To support a resolution of 1280x1024, the recommended maximum distance between the KVM

switch and the KVM server module is 164 feet (50m).

• The total distance between any KVM switch and any KVM server module in the installation cannot

Hot Plugging

exceed 164 feet (50m).

The KVM switch supports hot plugging. Components can be removed and added by unplugging and replugging cables from the ports without shutting the unit down.



NOTE: The Operating System of the server must support hot plugging for this function to work properly.

15 KVM Switch KVM2132P, KVM2116P, KVM1116P User Manual

The Adapter ID Function

Server module information (the Adapter ID, port name, OS, keyboard language, and access mode) is stored on the server module. The switch's Adapter ID function stores this information along with the server module's configuration information (access rights, etc.), so that when a server is moved with its server module from one port to another, its settings do not have to be reconfigured. The Adapter ID function restores them at the new location. Only the port number changes.

When moving the server and server module cable to another switch, only the information that is stored on the server module is retained. Other settings must be reconfigured, or the Backup/Restore function can be used (see page 93).

Port settings are stored with the server module. If a server is moved to a new port without its original server module, or if a different server is connecte d to the server module, the port settings for the new server must be manually configured. See “Sidebar Utilities” on page 36 for port configuration details.

Powering Off and Restarting

If the switch is powered off, or if the switch loses power and needs to be restarted, wait 10 seconds before powering it back on. Servers should not be affected, bu t if any fail, restart them.

Port ID Numbering

Each server on the installation is assigned a unique Port ID.

1. A server attached to a first level KVM switch has a one segment Port ID that corresponds to the KVM Port number to which it is connected.

2. A server attached to a Second Level KVM switch has a two segment Port ID.

a. The first segment represents the First Level unit’s KVM Port number that connects to the

Second Level KVM unit.

b. The second segment represents the Second Level unit’s KVM Port number that connects

to the server.

Example: A Port ID of 12 - 3 refers to a server connected to KVM Port 3 of a Second Level unit (child) connected to KVM Port 12 of the First Level unit (parent).

A server attached to a third level KVM switch has a three segment Port ID. Example: 12-03-05.

Port Selection

Port selection is accomplished by means of the GUI. See Port selection details on page 35.

PDU Connection (KVM2132P, KVM2116P)

• Connect the PDU and KVM switch with connection cable AP5641.

• The RJ12 connector plugs into the PDU port labeled “Serial”.

• The RJ45 connector plugs into the KVM port labeled “PDU1” or “PDU2”.
