Adding the Dell Blade Chassis in to DSVIEW3.5 (DKVM card)

DSVIEW3.5 currently supports blade chassis integration. Currently, their isn’t a dell selection to add as a blade chassis but you may add a generic appliance which will still add the Dell DKVM card chassis. Select the Generic Blade Chassis option (pic #1) and enter the MMB IP address and select a 10 port blade configuration. The ending result will show all 10 blades (pic #2). You are now able to launch the Management Console when you select the blade chassis.
