IBM System p5 520 and 520Q Technical Overview and Introduction
Occupies only 1U (1.75 in) in a 19-inch standard rack
The 1x8 Console Switch can be mounted in one of the following racks: 7014-T00, 7014-T42,
7014-S11, or 7014-S25.
The 1x8 Console Switch supports GXT135P (FC 1980 and FC 2849) graphics accelerators.
The following cables are used to attach the IBM servers to the 1x8 Console Switch:
IBM 3M Console Switch Cable (PS/2) (FC 4282)
IBM 3M Console Switch Cable (USB) (FC 4281)
The 1x8 Console Switch supports the following monitors:
7316-TF3 rack console monitor
pSeries TFT monitors (FC 3641, FC 3643, FC 3644, and FC 3645)
Separately available switch cables convert KVM signals for CAT5 cabling for servers with USB
and PS/2 ports. A minimum of one cable feature (FC 4281) or USB feature (FC 4282) is
required to connect the IBM 1x8 Console Switch (FC 4280) to a supported server. The
3-meter cable FC 4281 has one HD15 connector for video and one USB connector for
keyboard and mouse. The 3-meter cable FC 4282 has one HD15 connector for video, one
PS/2 connector for keyboard, and one PS/2 connector for the mouse and is used to connect
the IBM 1x8 Console Switch to a supported server.
The 1x8 Console Switch is a 1U (1.75-inch) rack-mountable LCM switch containing eight
analog rack interface ports for connecting switches using CAT5 cable. The switch supports a
maximum video resolution of 1280x1024.
The Console Switch allows for two levels of tiering and supports up to 64 servers at a single
user location through switch tiering. The previous VGA switch (FC 4200), the LCM (FC 4202),
and LCM2 (FC 4279) switches can be tiered with the 1x8 Console Switch.
The IBM Local 2x8 Console Manager (LCM2) switch (FC 4279) provides users single-point
access and control of up to 1024 servers. The IBM Local 2x8 Console Manager (LCM2)
switch (FC 4279) supports connection to servers with either PS/2 or USB connections with
installation of appropriate options. The maximum resolution is 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz. The
LCM2 switch can be tiered, and three levels of tiering are supported.
A minimum of one LCM feature (FC 4268) or USB feature (FC 4269) is required with an IBM
Local 2x8 Console Manager (LCM2) switch (FC 4279). Each feature can support up to four
systems. When connecting to a p5-520 or p5-520Q, FC 4269 provides connection to the
USB ports. Only the PS/2 keyboard is supported when attaching the 7316-TF3 to
the LCM Switch.
When selecting the LCM Switch, consider the following information:
The KVM Conversion Option (KCO) cable (FC 4268) is used with systems with PS/2 style
keyboard, display, and mouse ports.
The USB cable (FC 4269) is used with systems with USB keyboard or mouse ports.
Note: When the 1x8 Console Switch is tiered with the previous VGA switch (FC 4200) or
LCM (FC 4202) switch, it must be at the top level of the tier. When the 1x8 Console Switch
is tiered with the LCM2 (FC 4279) switch, it must be at the secondary level of the tier.
