DESCRIPTION
1
Module's RJ45 connector. The v1 module has one port used
to connect to the appliance via a CAT 5 cable. The v2 module
has a second port which can be connected to a dedicated SP.
2
DC power plug.
3
VGA connector for video.
4
USB connector for keyboard and mouse.
Table 5.12 UMIQ Module Descriptions
The UMIQ module has an embedded Linux OS that boots when the UMIQ module has power. The UMIQ module requires full
USB bus power in order to properly operate. The DC power plug is useful for servers that do not provide sufficient power, for
devices that lack USB interfaces, or for provisioning stations where the IQ module would be moved quite regularly from one
server to another. As long as the UMIQ module has power from USB or DC it is considered to be at full power and it can
maintain the secure IP connection with the appliance and KVM sessions with users. If the UMIQ module loses power but is
still connected to the appliance, the UMIQ module will request the appliance send standby power via the UTP cable to
prevent the UMIQ module from going offline.
The UMIQ module running on standby power cannot support KVM sessions, but it can maintain its connection to the
appliance. The UMIQ-v2 module can maintain the bridge between its two ports ensuring that the SP is always accessible.
The appliance will use the DC connector for all of its power needs and the USB plug will just be used for data exchange. The
appliance draws 5v at 0.5a from either DC or USB.
When connecting an autosense port to a UMIQ module a straight UTP cable should be used. The UMIQ-v1 module has a
single RJ45 port intended to be connected to the appliance. The UMIQ-v2 module has two RJ45 ports, either one can be
connected to the appliance and the other can be connected to a dedicated service processor port on the server. The cable
length can be up to 100 meters long.
WARNING! Never connect a network (switch/hub/firewall/router) between the appliance and a UMIQ module.
The appliance sends electricity that will damage anything that is not a UMIQ module.
LED
PATTERN
DESCRIPTION
Power
LED
Constant ON
Power LED is on when the UMIQ module is operating with USB power, in a normal operating state.
Continuous single blinks
During the upgrade, the UMIQ module will blink an LED at a rate of 2 Hz with a 50% duty cycle.
Groups of two blinks
The UMIQ module is using standby power provided via ethernet cable from the appliance.
Groups of three blinks
Insufficient power is provided. This may happen before the UMIQ module is enumerated by the
USB host on the target server.
Active
LED
Constant On
Active LED illuminated when there is an active KVM session.
Continuous single blinks (rapid)
Used for identifying a UMIQ module, Enabled/Disabled within the appliance web UI.
Continuous single blinks (slow)
The Active LED periodically blinks to indicate that the UMIQ module has been associated with the
appliance (i.e., it has been discovered by the appliance).
Both
LEDs
Continuous single blinks (rapid and
alternating with the Power LED)
Alternating LED blinks at a fast rate indicate when a firmware upgrade has failed.
