Question Answer
Does Dominion KX II
have a dual power
option? All Dominion KX II models come equipped with dual AC inputs and
power supplies with automatic fail-over. Should one of the power
inputs or power supplies fail, then the KX II will automatically switch
to the other.
Does the power supply
used by Dominion KX II
automatically detect
voltage settings? Yes. Dominion KX II's power supply can be used in AC voltage ranges
from 100-240 volts, at 50-60 Hz.
If a power supply or
input fails, will I be
notified? The KX II front panel LED will notify the user of a power failure. An
entry will also be sent to the Audit Log and displayed on the KX II
Remote Client User Interface. If configured by the administrator, then
SNMP or Syslog events will be generated.
What type of power
control capabilities does
Dominion KX II offer? Raritan's Remote Power Control power strips can be connected to the
Dominion KX II to provide power control of the target servers. After a
simple one-time configuration step, just right click on the server name
to power on, off, or recycle a hung server. Note that a hard reboot
provides the physical equivalent of unplugging the server from the AC
power line, and reinserting the plug.
Does Dominion KX II
support servers with
multiple power
supplies? What if each
power supply is
connected to a different
power strip? Yes. Dominion KX II can be easily configured to support multiple
power supplies connected to multiple power strips. Up to eight (8)
power strips can be connected to a KX II device. Four power supplies
can be connected per target server to multiple power strips.
Does remote power
control require any
special server
configuration? Some servers ship with default BIOS settings such that the server does
not automatically restart after losing and regaining power. See the
server user manual for more information.
What type of power
strips does Dominion
KX II support? To take advantage of Dominion KX II's integrated power control user
interface, and more importantly, integrated security, use Raritan's
Remote Power Control (RPC) power strips. RPCs come in many outlet,
connector, and amp variations. The D2CIM-PWR must be purchased to
connect the RPC to the KX II.
