Quick Installation Guide for Configuration with a
Vertiv™ Avocent® RM1048P Rack Manager
NOTE: These instructions are for
configuring the Avocent IPUHD 4K IP
KVM device with an Avocent RM1048P
Rack Manager.
For instructions on using the 4K IP
KVM device powered by non-Vertiv
PoE+ port devices or a Vertiv™
Avocent® IPPS power supply, see the
pages following this one.
1. Powering the 4K IP KVM device
Use a CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable to
connect the LAN 1 (PoE+) port of
the 4K IP KVM device to one of the
PoE+ ports on the rack manager.
The power LED blinks red when
power is applied, then turns solid
red or green to indicate it is ready
for operation.
NOTE: In this configuration, the 4K
IP KVM device is powered using a
PoE+ port connected to LAN 1. LAN
2 is not a PoE+ port and cannot be
used to power the unit.
2. Connecting to the managed
device
Use the provided USB-C cable to
connect the USB-C port of the 4K IP
KVM device directly to the managed
device. If the device has no available
USB-C port with DisplayPort
alternative mode support, or if the
USB-C port is unavailable, install a
Vertiv™ Avocent® 4K IP KVM
adapter with the appropriate video
port cable connection to the device.
Connect the USB-C cable from the
4K IP KVM device to the adapter's
USB-C port.
NOTE: Avocent 4K IP KVM adapter
video cable connection options for
DP, HDMI and MiniDP are available.
Each adapter has a single USB Type
A cable for keyboard/mouse control.
3. Connecting to a device's
service processor (optional)
Connect the LAN 2 port of the 4K IP
KVM device to the network port on
the service processor.
