See the latest Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis User's Guide at support.dell.com for more information about firmware updates and installing

redundant DRAC/MC modules. This guide also provides complete instructions on how to set up and operate that version of the module.

KVM Module

Your system includes one hot-pluggable KVM module. One of three types of KVM modules may be installed: an Avocent Analog KVM switch module, an Avocent

Digital Access KVM switch module, or a basic KVM switch module (systems sold prior to April 2005). All three modules enable you to connect a PS/2-compatible

keyboard and mouse and a video monitor to the system, using a custom cable provided with the system. See "KVM Modules" in "Indicators, Codes, and

Messages" for more information about the features of these modules. See your system Configuration Guide for instructions on how to select a server module

from the keyboard connected to the KVM module.
