IBM 1754 GCM16 and GCM32 Global Console Managers 10

Chaining

IBM’s cable chaining solution enables users to manage a "daisy chain" of multiple servers through a

single connection to the console switch, replacing many long cables with just a few short ones, simplifying

rack management, helping lower cabling cost and reducing setup, diagnostic, and maintenance times.

The daisy-chain connectivity has the added advantage of thin, flexible, industry-standard CAT5 cabling

and standard RJ-45 connectors, eliminating the need for one-to-one, dedicated cable connections

between KVM switch ports and managed devices. This cable chaining solution allows up to 16 target

systems to be chained together and connected to one port on the switch.

Figure 5 shows an example of chaining three target systems from one port on the console switch. Each

conversion option part number includes a CAT-5 cable to connect it to either the console switch or its

neighbor conversion option. The console switch includes the terminator needed at the end of the daisy

chain.

Note: The Virtual Media Conversion Options (VCO and VCO2) do not support chaining.
