6. (Optional) Depending on the model, up to two power control devices can be attached to a
DSR switch. To connect a power control device, plug one end of the cable supplied with a
DSR switch compatible power control device into an available SPC port on the DSR
switch. Plug the other end into the power control device. Plug the power cords from the
target devices into the power control device power outlets. Plug the power control device
into a grounded AC wall outlet. Repeat this step for any additional available SPC ports.
7. Turn on each target device that will be part of your DSR switching system. Next, locate
the power cord(s) that came with the DSR switch. For each power cord, plug the
appropriate end into the power socket on the rear of the DSR switch. Plug the other end
into an appropriate AC wall outlet. Then turn on the DSR switch.
NOTE: If using a DSR 2035/2035DAC/8035/8035DAC switch model, there is not an on/off switch on the unit. Once
you have plugged in the power cord properly, your DSR switch is automatically turned on.
NOTE: If you are using a DSR switch equipped with dual power supplies, you will be notified in the following ways if
one of those power supplies fails:
- OSCAR Graphical User Interface - See Main Dialog Box Functions on page 20.
- On-board Web Interface - See The DSR Explorer Window on page 49.
- DSView 3 Software - You will be alerted if either of the power supplies fails by a non-critical event inserted
into the existing event notification/logging framework.
- Green Power LEDs - The LEDs will blink quickly if a power supply fails. See Power LEDs on page 14.
To connect local virtual media or a smart card reader:
Connect the virtual media or smart card reader to an available USB port on the DSR switch.
NOTE: For all virtual media sessions, you must use a virtual meda capable DSR x03x model switch and a DSAVIQ-
USB2, DSAVIQ-PS/2M or DSRIQ-VMC module. For all smart card readers, you must use a smart card capable
DSR x03x model switch and a DSRIQ-VMC module.
For information on connecting virtual media remotely, see Using Virtual Media on page 82. For
information on connecting a smart card reader remotely, see Using Smart Cards on page 86.
To connect a serial IQ module to a serial device:
1. Attach the serial IQ module 9-pin serial connector to the serial port of the device to be
connected to your DSR switch.
2. Attach one end of the UTP patch cable to the RJ-45 connector on the IQ-SRL module.
Connect the other end of the UTP patch cable to the desired port on the back of your DSR
switch.
NOTE: The serial IQ module is a DCE device and only supports VT100 terminal emulation.
3. Connect the power supply to the power connector on your serial IQ module. The cable
expander can be used to power up to four serial IQ modules from a single power supply.
