information about CO cables, see Virtual media and smart card support.
Virtual media and smart card support
The LCM8 and LCM16 switches support virtual media when the target device is connected to the
USB port with a VCO or VCO2 cable. The VCO2 cable is also used for smart card support. You
can view, move, or copy data between a target device and a media device. You can install, upgrade,
or recover the operating system; update the BIOS code; or start the target device from a USB drive
through the virtual media capabilities of the switch.
NOTE:
To open a virtual media session with a target device, you must first connect the target device to a switch
using the VCO or VCO2 cable. For a smart card, you must first connect the target device to a switch using the
smart card-capable VCO2 cable.
Access the LCM8 or LCM16 switch using a standard TCP/IP network
The LCM8 and LCM16 switches provide agentless remote control and access to the switches using

connecting directly to the local port. You can also use the remote On-board Web Interface (OBWI)
