Viewing the SIPs and Avocent IQ Modules
The SIPs category lets you view the SIPs and Avocent IQ modules in your system, their port and Electronic ID number (EID) as well as the computer type and keyboard layout.
You can also view the SIP status. A green circle indicates that the SIP is online. A yellow circle indicates the SIP is being upgraded, and a red X indicates that the SIP is offline. To clear offline SIPs click Clear Offline and click OK when prompted.
The Language button displays the Language dialog box, in which you can set language and keyboard parameters for all the Sun/USB SIPs of the whole appliance.
NOTE:
NOTE:
It is not possible to clear Offline SIPs or Avocent IQ modules that are attached to a tiered analog Console Switch.

NOTE:
The Remote Console Switch supports Avocent IQ modules as well as Dell SIPs. Therefore, although Dell SIPs are available with PS/2 and USB connections, the addition of Avocent IQ modules provides support for Sun and Serial connections.
NOTE:
To determine if an item identified as PS/2 or USB is a Dell SIP or an Avocent IQ module, access the SIPs Versions panel. For more information see “SIPs Subcategory”.
