Dell 71PXP 8 Port Rackmount Kvm Server Switch
We're running an environment of mostly Dell server hardware
here and have successfully daisy-chained two of these units to support our
needs with one keyboard/monitor/trackball station for the two racks. After adding
a new rack, we purchased a third KVM (same model) intending to chain it on as
well, but are running into a problem.
I've configured the port it is connected to on the KVM as an 8-port switch, but
when I attempt to switch over to the units on the third switch it does not show
any connected devices. Those devices definitely are connected and powered up.
We have tried three different cable sets (thought perhaps we got a defective
one running between switch 3 and switch 1, but to no avail.)
Does anybody know if:
1) There are specific ports you can and cannot use for
connecting other KVMs and 2) Where I can get a copy of the service guide for
this piece of junk? We're this close to boxing all three up and sending them
back to dell in favor of a better documented device.
