Q: Can I connect my USB keyboard and mouse to the integrated KVM switch?
A: No, only a PS/2 keyboard and mouse can be connected to the integrated KVM switch.
Q: I am having difficulty viewing the OSCAR interface using my VGA monitor?
A: Verify that your monitor is compatible with the Digital Access specifications and that it is
correctly configured. The maximum allowable resolution is 1600 X 1200 at 80 Hz. Please
consult the Digital Access User's Guide for further details.
Q: How do I upgrade integrated KVM switch firmware?
A: The integrated KVM switch’s firmware is upgradeable through the Fujitsu Siemens
Management Blade (MMB). Please consult the Primergy BX600 User’s Guide for details
on firmware upgrades.
Q: How do I remotely access the KVM switch?
A: All access to the KVM switch is obtained via the MMB. Point your browser to the IP
address of the MMB to get the GUI for the MMB. Click on the ‘MMB’ menu on the left
side of the GUI to open the pull-down menu beneath it. At this point, you may open the
Video Viewer by selecting Console, or work with Virtual Media by selecting Media.
Q: How does one manage the individual blade servers?
A: The BX600 Digital Access KVM Switch Module allows you to manage both blade
servers and virtual media from a remote location. Using the Video Viewer, you can view
and manage servers remotely as if you were physically present. Once you have
selected Console, you may select the server you would like.
From the list of servers, click the button that represents the server you would like to
view
Click the Select Server button at the bottom of the display. When the system has
successfully made the selection, the Launch Application button will become active.
Click the Launch Application button. The server’s desktop will appear.
Q: How do I synchronize the movements of the mouse on my management station with
the mouse movements associated with my target blade server?
A: As you move the client’s cursor, the remote server’s cursor will shadow it closely, in
both movement and position. You may need to align these if they do not move together.
Additionally, you may need to adjust the video if the cursors seem to jump erratically. To
align the mouse cursors:
Click the menu beneath the Mouse Acceleration and then choose the closest match to
your client operating system from the menu. The system will automatically realign the
cursors.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to adjust the mouse properties for the particular OS of your target server. Typically for
Windows Server OSs, you may need to adjust the Pointer Options of the Mouse Motion Properties by unchecking
the box for Enhance pointer precision. For Linux, open a terminal window and type: xset m 0 (zero) and press
Enter.
Q: What is Virtual Media and how is it implemented?
A: Often an IT administrator will not only need remote KVM control of blade servers, but
also the ability to remotely load software on the system. To accommodate this
