MCD-LED Product Overview
MCD-LED is a KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) combination switch and KVM
drawer that enables you to control multiple servers from a single set of
keyboard, touchpad, and monitor.
Connect multiple servers to a MCD-LED KVM drawer, and you will be
able to switch among servers connected to the MCD-LED.
You
cannot establish a two-tier system with MCD-LED KVM drawers, but
you can use it as the base switch of any two-tier MCD system. See
Two-Tier System
(on page 48).
The MCD-LED switch features the use of standard network patch cables
(Category 5e/6 UTP) for connecting servers.
One MCD-LED system comprises some or all of the following:
MCD-LED switch
MCD Computer Interface Modules (MDCIMs) and/or MDUTP cables
Note: You CANNOT connect a MCD-LED KVM drawer to Raritan's
Dominion KX III or KX2-101-V2 because it does not have a 'console' port.
