ULTRACONSOLE INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL 7
If an expansion card is permanently removed, a terminator and cover plate must be installed.
Figure 1. Expansion card
To remove the expansion card and install/remove jumper JP1:
1. Remove power from the UltraConsole switch.
2. Remove any expansion cables.
3. Unscrew the two screws securing the expansion card to the chassis.
4. Carefully pull the expansion card straight back until it unseats
from the backplane connector.
5. Remove/install the jumper JP1, on the expansion cards.
6. Re-install the expansion card. Make sure it seats properly in the backplane connector.
7. Secure the expansion card with the two screws.
8. Replace any expansion cables
RS232 port
All UltraConsole switches are equipped with an RS232 serial port. This port on all models is an RJ12, 6-conductor
connector. It provides a serial interface to the UltraConsole from a computer terminal, a standalone computer or a
Notebook computer that is not connected to a CPU port on the Unit. The RS232 serial port enables you to:
Upgrade the system firmware
Restore a Unit to its factory default settings
Configure an expansion switch
Switch a KVM station to a CPU port
An adapter and serial cable are provided for serial interface. Firmware cannot be updated from a computer terminal.
Cabling
A KVM station, computers and servers are easily connected to the UltraConsole with the proper cables. Provide
adequate strain relief for the CPU, KVM, and expansion cables to relieve excess tension on the connectors.
System security
Security is a very important concern especially in the environment most UltraConsole switches are commonly
installed in, such as data centers and server rooms. The UltraConsole system can be secured with a unique
configuration password allowing only authorized personnel access to the menus and the system set-up functions,
including creating and assigning users, groups, and profiles.
The KVM station can also be secured by assigning user access names and passwords that restrict access to certain
computers or servers that contain sensitive information or restricted applications.
Other security functions include the flexibility of assigning certain computers to a unique Group. This feature allows
you to group computers together for access by defined “Profiles”. These profiles can be set-up to define the way
computers within a “Group” are accessed.
The security functions, “Users”, “Profiles”, and “Groups” are configured from the main configuration menu and when
set-up, form a flexible, reliable, and secure system. These functions are explained in detail in the menu section and
the site planning section.
Avoid routing cables close to fluorescent lights, air compressors, high voltage power sources and
machinery that may create electrical noise or interference that may interfere with the operation of the
