작업

1. 기본 동작

Once powered on and connected, the KVM switch allows you to switch control between connected servers. This can typically be done via hotkey commands from the connected keyboard, or through an On-Screen Display (OSD) menu accessible via a specific hotkey sequence.

• 단축키 전환: Consult the included manual or the KVM's OSD for the specific hotkey combinations to switch between ports, scan through servers, or access the OSD menu. Common hotkeys include Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock, Ctrl + Ctrl, or similar combinations.
• OSD 탐색: The OSD provides a graphical interface for managing connections, configuring settings, and accessing advanced features. Use the keyboard's arrow keys and Enter key to navigate the OSD menu.

2. 가상 미디어 기능

The "Virtual Media" feature allows you to map a local CD/DVD drive or USB storage device connected to the KVM switch to a remote server. This enables tasks such as operating system installation, software updates, or diagnostics on the connected servers as if the media were directly attached to them.

To use virtual media, ensure the KVM switch and connected servers support this feature. Typically, you will enable and manage virtual media mapping through the KVM's OSD or dedicated management software.
