To broaden the KSX II's compatibility with different KVM target servers, 
Raritan provides a standard selection of USB configuration profiles for a 
wide range of operating system and BIOS-level server implementations. 

The Generic (default) USB profile meets the needs of the vast majority of 
deployed KVM target server configurations. Additional profiles are 
provided to meet the specific needs of other commonly deployed server 
configurations (for example, Linux

®

 and Mac OS X

®

). There are also a 

number of profiles (designated by platform name and BIOS revision) to 
enhance virtual media function compatibility with the target server, for 
example, when operating at the BIOS level. 

USB profiles are configured on the Device Settings > Port Configuration 
> Port page of the KSX II Remote and Local Consoles. A device 
administrator can configure the port with the profiles that best meet the 
needs of the user and the target server configuration. 

A user connecting to a KVM target server chooses among these 
preselected profiles in the 

 (see "

" on page 53), depending on the operational state of the KVM 

target server. For example, if the server is running and the user wants to 
use the Windows

®

 operating system, it would be best to use the Generic 

profile. But if the user wants to change settings in the BIOS menu or boot 
from a virtual media drive, depending on the target server model, a BIOS 
profile may be more appropriate. 

Should none of the standard USB profiles provided by Raritan work with 
a given KVM target, please contact Raritan Technical Support for 
assistance.
