> Viewing the SIPs and Avocent AVRIQs
> The Server Interface Pods (SIPs) category lets you view the SIPs and Avocent AVRIQs 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, in which you can set language and keyboard parameters for all the Sun/USB SIPs of the whole appliance.

> NOTE: | The Clear Offline button is not displayed when managing Avocent A1000R and A2000R Remote Console Switches.

> NOTE: | It is not possible to clear Offline SIPs or Avocent AVRIQs that are attached to a tiered analog Console Switch.

> NOTE: | This operation will clear all offline SIPs on the Remote Console Switch, including those associated with any powered down Servers.

> NOTE: | User access rights will also be updated to remove the Servers associated with the cleared offline SIPs.

> NOTE: | The Remote Console Switch supports Avocent AVRIQs as well as Dell SIPs. Therefore, although Dell SIPs are available with PS/2 and USB connections, the addition of Avocent AVRIQs provides support for Sun and Serial connections.

> NOTE: | To determine if an item identified as PS2 or USB is a Dell SIP or an Avocent AVRIQ, access the SIPs Versions panel. For more information see “SIPs Subcategory” on page 71.
