Remote Desktop: Power Control 

In addition to remote KVM and serial console access, Dominion KSX also offers users the option of graphical, hard 

power control. To take advantage of this capability, you should obtain and connect a Raritan remote power control  

unit to the dedicated “Power Control” port of Dominion KSX (see Chapter 2: Installation, “Physical Connections” 

for more details). 

Raritan offers remote power control units in 1U and 0U form factors; offering 8, 12, or 20 outlets; and in 

configurations for different voltage, international, and load (amp rating) environments. Contact your Raritan 

representative for more information about Raritan remote power control units.  

Please note that both the dedicated “Power Control” port and the graphical power control interface described below, 

only apply and operate with Raritan brand remote power control units. Similar devices from third party vendors will 

not function as described below with the dedicated “Power Control” port on Dominion KSX, however they of 

course can be connected to the Dominion KSX serial console ports – just as any other serial device. 

Remote Connection 

To open a remote connection to initiate remote power control, double-click on the corresponding Navigator entry 

named “PowerPort”, as displayed by RRC:  

A window displaying the graphical power control interface (called “PowerBoard”), will appear, and the icon found 

next to the serial port entry on the RRC Navigator will turn green. 

Note: If using Windows XP, Service Pack 1, the graphical power control interface will not appear 

if you have two conflicting Java virtual machines installed on your system (i.e., one from Sun 

Microsystems, and on from Microsoft).
