Question
What is the speed of Dominion KX
III's Ethernet interfaces?
Answer
Raritan's Dominion PX
Control (RPC) power strips.
These come in many outlet, connector and
amp variations. Note that you should not
connect the PM series of power strips to the
Dominion KX III as these power strips do not
provide outlet-level switching.
Up to eight PDUs can be connected to a
Dominion KX III appliance.
The D2CIM-PWR is used to connect the power
strip to the Dominion KX III. The D2CIM-PWR
must be purchased separately; it does not
come with the PDU.
Yes. Dominion KX III can be easily configured
to support servers with multiple power supplies
connected to multiple power strips. Four power
supplies can be connected per target server.
Yes. PDU-level power statistics, including
power, current and voltage, are retrieved from
the PDU and displayed to the user.
Some servers ship with default BIOS settings
such that the server does not automatically
restart after losing and regaining power. For
these servers, see the server's documentation
to change this setting.
Note that this is the physical equivalent of
unplugging the server from the AC power line,
and reinserting the plug.
Answer
Dominion KX III supports gigabit as well as
10/100 Ethernet. KX III supports two
10/100/1000 speed Ethernet interfaces, with
configurable speed and duplex settings (either
auto detected or manually set).
