1.1.10 Two-tier expansion
The switch allows you to tier one additional switch from each ARI port on the primary switch. Each tiered
switch is attached in the same manner as any device. This additional tier of units allows you to attach up
to 256 servers in one system. See
Tiering Your Switch Using an IQ Module
on page 7.
1.1.11 KVM remote access
A single KVM remote user is supported. You can manage remote operating system installation, operating
system recovery, hard drive recovery or duplication, BIOS updating and server backup. You must install
the optional RAK-key to a USB port to enable KVM remote access on the 2108/2216 switch models.
1.1.12 Avocent® DSView™ management software plug-in
The DSView management software can be used with the switch to allow IT administrators to securely and
remotely access and monitor target devices on multiple platforms through a single, web-based user
interface. A session can be launched to a device from a single point of access. For more information, see
the Technical Bulletin for the DSView management software plug-in.
