Chapter 2. Hardware Setup

Hot Plugging

KN1108v / KN1116v switches support hot plugging – components can be

removed and added back into the installation by unplugging and replugging

cables from the ports without the need to shut the unit down.

Note: If the server’s Operating System does not support hot plugging, this

function may not work properly.

The Adapter ID Function

Adapter Cable information (the Adapter ID, port name, OS, keyboard

language, and access mode), is stored on the adapter. The switch’s Adapter ID

function takes this information and stores it along with the adapter cable’s

configuration information (access rights, etc.), in its database – so that when

you move a server together with its adapter cable from one port to another, you

don’t have to reconfigure its settings – the Adapter ID function restores them

at the new location. The only change is in the port number.

When moving the server and adapter cable to another switch, however, only the

information that is stored on the adapter is retained. For the other settings you

must either reconfigure them, or use the Backup/Restore function (see

page 194) to restore them.

Since port settings are stored with the adapter, if you move a server to a new

port without its original adapter; or if you connect a different server to the

adapter, you must manually reconfigure the port settings for the new server.

See Sidebar Utilities, page 88 for port configuration details.

Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to power off the KN1108v / KN1116v, or if the switch

loses power and needs to be restarted, wait 10 seconds before powering it back

on. The servers should not be affected by this, but if any of them should fail,

simply restart them.
