90 PARAGON II USER GUIDE
Paragon II and P2ZCIMs
P2ZCIM installation requires that each server be assigned a channel name as it is added to the
P2ZCIM chain. Server channels are organized alphanumerically by the assigned names or the
default names of P2ZCIMs -- the serial numbers, rather than in the order of their placement
within the P2ZCIM chain. We recommend that users assign channel names before connecting all
servers to eliminate any difficulty in locating the respective channel for each server. When
naming or renaming a P2ZCIM, switch to that P2ZCIM to activate it, thereby ensuring that its
new name is updated in the matrix switch’s database.
Connecting P2ZCIMs as Tiers
The following diagram shows the final setup when connecting Paragon II Z-CIMs (P2ZCIMs) as
a tier. Up to 42 P2ZCIMs can be connected in one single chain.

All Paragon II components must be powered ON prior to P2ZCIM tier installation. All servers in
the P2ZCIM chain must be powered OFF prior to installation.
When following the installation and configuration instructions below, sort the Selection Menu by
channel number, not by name. Display the menu by pressing the F2 key on your keyboard and
