So here is another URL to same link: http://tinyurl.com/6f46p All of our servers, including the HMC have standard PS/2 ports. According to that URL, that is supported, you do not need USB. I am a bit unclear on the cables needed though. We have the HMC and 3 xSeries servers to connect. Can all of these be connected with just one cable? Or I guess reading it closer, it is saying part # 4268 includes 4 cables for up to 4 servers. That sounds like what we need. NetBAY LCM Switch (#4202): * A minimum of one LCM cable (#4268) or USB cable (#4269) is required with a NetBAY LCM Switch (#4202). o The LCM cable (#4268) is used with systems with separate keyboard, display, and mouse. o The USB cable (#4269) is used with systems with USB keyboard or mouse ports. * Each LCM cable (#4268) or USB cable (#4269) contains four cables used to connect up to four servers to the rear of the switch. * A maximum of 16 LCM cables (#4268) or USB cables (#4269) may be used with the NetBAY LCM Switch (#4202) to connect up to 64 servers. * Each port in the switch can connect a maximum of 16 systems. o One LCM cable (#4268) or USB cable (#4269) is required for every four systems supported on the switch. * Cable feature numbers 4243, 4244, and 4245 are available to support connection to the VGA switch (#4200). I think that is what IBM is telling us too, but they do not answer the question the same way we ask it, so it gets confusing. Thanks Mark PS - The "travel keyboard" is technically separate, but it is included as a chargeable item in the "package". It is just the old IBM part number run around. We got a rack mounted LTO drive too, and it didn't come with the right screws to connect to the IBM rack that came with it. Who wants to set the over/under on how many phone calls it will take to get the screws? midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote on 08/18/2004 03:42:55 PM: > Mark, > > That's the right HMC no problem. > > The 7316-TF3 will connect to a KVM if you'd like The keyboards they > ship with it though (i.e. FC 8800 US English) are USB so you'd want to > be sure your xSeries AND your KVM support USB keyboard and mouse. > > You should have no trouble putting xSeries into the rack as they are > largely the same between x, p, and i. > > The PDU in the rack should also work with xSeries machines though if > you get redundant power on the x boxes and only have one PDU you'll > rapidly run out of plugs.
