System x Asia Pacific 0 U installation 1 U installation § 0 U installation saves rack space. – As picture show in right side, install KVM at side panel in rack – Extremely reduced space needed by KVM. – Put KVM into existing rack with 0 u installation, no additional rack is needed. § Dell KVM supports standard 1 u installation as well – As picture show in right side, put KVM into 1 u rack. – More efficient cable management. – Provide tools for installation. Installation become to simple and easy. © 2007 IBM Corporation

System x Asia Pacific IBM digital KVM features Digital KVM unique features 1. Scan mode -can scan up to 16 servers in a window. -PCAnywhere and Terminal Services or any other software solution does not support this. 2. Digital sharing -3 modes are active, passive and stealth mode 3. Virtual Media -user can map a USB device to target server via remote or local. 4. Integrated with LDAP -authorization and authentication by a centre user database -LDAP license KEY included (Free) 5. Unlimited scalability -you can add digital KVM to existing analogue KVM environment to gain ability of remote access. © 2007 IBM Corporation

System x Asia Pacific Note when you cascading: – Use a CAT 5 cable connect to top level KVM server port, and another end of CAT 5 connect to second level KVM ACI port. – Maximum cascading is 3 levels. – Maximum servers can be attached on KVM is 2048(16 x 8 x 16) – One of local console port of second level KVM will be blocked when cascading – Digital KVM does not cascade each other – Digital KVM must be first level when cascading. © 2007 IBM Corporation

System x Asia Pacific New features added!!! § IBM GCM 2/4 will support OBWI (on-board web interface) technology. It is another way to access GCM 2/4 via web browser. § Avocent DSView 3. 6 (will release soon) has ability to access GCM 2/4 (a plug-in is required). Both Avocent KVM and IBM GCM 2/4 can be managed by DSView 3. 6. © 2007 IBM Corporation
