1 Product Overview
1.1 Features and Benefits
The Fujitsu Siemens BX600 Digital KVM Switch is integrated in your Fujitsu Siemens
BX600 blade chassis. It allows you to manage many server modules through a single
keyboard, monitor, and mouse. In addition, through virtual media, you can control your
remote servers as if you were physically present.
You can also connect cables from the BX600 Digital KVM Switch to a KVM appliance
such as the Fujitsu Siemens s3-1621 Console Switch. This capability allows you to
create large combinations of servers and switches that you can manage from a common
access point or over your IP network.

OSCAR Graphical User Interface Product Overview
2590-673-501A
1.1.1 OSCAR Graphical User Interface
Select the server you would like and then manage it using the On Screen Configuration
and Activity Reporting (OSCAR) interface. OSCAR’s intuitive menus make managing
your BX600 Digital KVM Switch system easy.
1.1.2 Network Connectivity
Using an ethernet connection, you can attach your BX600 Digital KVM Switch to your
network, allowing you to control the blade servers and any attached virtual media
appliances remotely.
1.1.3 Control of Virtual Media
The BX600 Digital KVM Switch allows you to view, move, or copy data from your client
machine to any blade server. This feature enables you to manage remote systems by
allowing you to install operating systems, recover hard drives, and back up servers, to
name a few examples.
1.1.4 Security
OSCAR allows you to protect your system with a screen saver password. After an
amount of time that you define, the screen saver mode engages and access is
prohibited until you enter the appropriate password to reactivate your system.
1.1.5 Scanning
When in Scan Mode, OSCAR allows you to visually monitor server modules by
displaying them one at a time, for the amount of time you specify.
1.1.6 Identify Server Modules
Through OSCAR, you can easily assign names to server modules for your convenience.
(By default all server modules are given the name Slot followed by the slot number.)
1.1.7 Tiering
The BX600 Digital KVM Switch can be set up in tiers from an existing Fujitsu Siemens
KVM switch. The server modules can then be accessed through the software of the
Fujitsu Siemens KVM switch.
