To Set Up A Chained Tiering Installation; Chained Tiering Installation Diagram - Fujitsu KVM0108A User Manual

To set up a Chained tiering installation:

1. Use a cable set to connect the Chain Out port of the parent KVM switch to the Chain In port of
the child KVM switch (first level out to second level in, second level out to third level in, etc.).
2. Connect the KVM Adapter cables to the server and the switch according to Single Level
Installation (see "Single Level KVM Switch Installation" on page 9).
3. Repeat the above steps for any other KVM switches you want to add to the chain.
4. Power up the installation as follows:
a. Plug in the power cord for the first level KVM switch. Wait for the KVM switch to
ascertain its Station ID and display it on the Station ID LED (the Station ID for the first
level is 01, the ID for the second level is 02, the ID for the third level is 03, etc.).
b. Power on each level on the installation in turn (second level, then third level, etc.). In each
case, wait for the Station ID to be ascertained and displayed before powering on the next
level switch.
c. After all the KVM switches are up, power on the computers.

Note: 1. You cannot use the Chain In port of the First Level, since it is the highest
level (parent) switch.
2. Cable sets for chained tiering are purchased separately.
