supports Virtual Media.
Cascading two HP Server Console Switches G2
The following figure shows two HP Server Console Switches G2 cascaded together. The top console
switch is the primary console switch and the bottom console switch is the secondary console switch.
Do not use interface adapters to cascade console switches. If interface adapters are used to cascade
console switches, you do not have a seamless integration, and you lose Virtual Media support.
To cascade the console switches:
1. Connect a UTP CAT5 or better cable to the interface adapter port on the primary console switch.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the tiering port on the secondary console switch.
