• Slot 8 must be occupied by a core I/O card for the
Lights-Out Advanced KVM card to function.
• If a core I/O board is not present, use the lowest
numbered cell with a core I/O board.
• Use slot 7, 8, or the lowest numbered slot in the
rootcell I/O chassis if a core I/O board is present.
When using slot 7 or 8, make sure there are no other
Lights-Out Advanced KVM cards in the I/O chassis,
or they will be selected over the cards in slots 7 or
8.
• Use slots 1, 2, or
