Installation

The SCS uses TCP/IP for communication over Ethernet. For the best system
performance, use a dedicated, switched 100BaseT network. You can also use
10BaseT Ethernet.
You may use the terminal software, OSCAR interface, or the OBWI to manage
your SCS system. The OBWI manages a single switch and its connections. With
the optional Dell RAK, you can also perform KVM and serial switching tasks
using the OBWI or Avocent management software. For more information about
Avocent management software, visit http://www.avocent.com/dell.
NOTE: The RCS software can be used to manage other switches. For more
information, please refer to the appropriate installer/user guide for your product.
NOTE: Ensure that every switch has been upgraded to the most recent version of
firmware. For information on upgrading the switch using the OBWI, see "Tools -
Rebooting and Upgrading" on page 65.
