Power Control (Dominion KX only)

The Dominion KX supports up to eight (8) power strips. Users may group or assign up to four
outlets to any of the Dominion channels. Once assigned, the power management function is
available in MPC and RRC.

Setup Preparation
You must have a power strip and the P2CIM-PWR Computer Interface Module (CIM). The CIM
is included with the power strip shipment; however, if you need a replacement CIM, you can
purchase a P2CIM-PWR from Raritan Computer, Inc. or an authorized Raritan reseller.

Connecting the Power Strip
1. Connect the male RJ-45 of the P2CIM-PWR to the female RJ-45 connector on the power

strip.

2. Connect the female RJ-45 connector of the P2CIM-PWR to any of the available female

system port connectors on the Dominion KX using a straight through Cat 5 cable.

3.  Power ON the power strip.
4.  Power ON the Dominion KX unit.

Configuring the Power Strip
1.  Once the power strip has been added, KX Manager will automatically recognize that a power

device is connected. The Device Tree in the left panel of the window will change the
appropriate target icon to indicate that a power strip is connected to that port.

2. Select the power strip icon, right-click on it, and click Properties. When the Power Strip

Properties screen appears, type a name for the new power strip and click OK.

3. In the Devices Tree, select the target server(s) powered through the power strip. Right-click

on the server icon and click Properties. The PC Properties window appears.
