Netserver LH3 & KVM

[Jim Roberts]

Are there any known problems with the
APEX Outlook 180DX KVM and HP Netservers.

I have tried this switch with both my
LH3's and LH Pros and only get video
switching. No keyboard or mouse. I can
control the KVM from the keyboard, but
not the servers.

Thanks
Jim

Unfortunately, I can't be any more specific, but I wonder -
were the servers the only parts in the system that you've changed or did
you switch your KVM as well?

May be a faulty KVM switch, just a thought.

Christian, thanks for your intrest.

The switch was new to my server farm, but not a new
switch. As it turned out, problem was a bad cable from
the switch to the server.

I had tried another set of cables, but from the same
manufacture. Most of my cables were purchased at the
same time. I purchased a set of cables from NTI, and
they worked first time.
