Installation Checklist

Rack Mounting the HP IP Console
Overview
You must install the HP IP Console Viewer before using the HP IP Console
Switch. The HP IP Console Viewer enables you to view and control a server
attached to the console switch system, configure and maintain the system, and
prevent unauthorized access to the console switch through IP connection. For
more information, refer to the HP IP Console Switch Software Guide included on
the CD provided with the console switch.
The HP IP Console Switch system uses Ethernet networking infrastructures and
TCP/IP protocol to transmit keyboard, video, and mouse information between
operators and connected computers. Although 10Base-T Ethernet can be used, a
dedicated, switched 100Base-T network provides improved performance.
Installation Checklist
Before installation, refer to the following lists to be sure that all of the listed
components were received.
