FLASH Upgradeable

Upgrade your Remote Console Switch and SIP modules at any time to ensure you are always
running the most current firmware version available. Flash Upgrades can be initiated through
®
OSCAR or the Serial Console. The Remote Console Switch can be configured to perform
automatic firmware upgrades of SIP modules. See "Appendix A: FLASH Upgrades" on page 45
for more information.

Cascade (Tier) Expansion

The Remote Console Switch features allow you to cascade additional Dell Console Switches
from each of the Analog Rack Interface (ARI) ports on the switch. The cascaded switches are
attached in the same manner as any device. This additional tier of units allows you to attach up
to 256 servers in one system. See "Adding a Cascade Switch" on page 20.
