NOTE: You cannot open a virtual media session or a CAC session if the
server is connected via a PEM.
Setting up Your Network
The switch uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the switch and the target
devices. The RCS supports both Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and static IP addressing. Make sure that an IP address is reserved for
each switch and that each IP address remains static while the switch is
connected to the network.
Keyboards
A USB keyboard and mouse may be connected to the analog port of the RCS.
NOTE: The RCS also supports the use of multiple keyboards and multiple
mice on the analog port. The use of more than one input device
simultaneously, however, may produce unpredictable results.
Rack Mounting the RCS
You may either place the RCS on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly
into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E compliant rack (four-post, two-post, or threaded
methods). The Dell ReadyRails™ system is provided for 1U front-rack, 1U rear-
rack, and two-post installations. The ReadyRails system includes two separately
packaged rail assemblies and two rails that are shipped attached to the sides of
the RCS. In addition, one mounting bracket is provided for 0U configurations,
and one blanking panel is provided for rear-rack installations.
WARNING: This is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your
Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information booklet before you begin.
NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a
specific switch.
Rack Mounting Safety Considerations
• Rack Loading: Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or
rack failure, causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury.
