There are many ways to configure the OutLook Console Switch
to meet your specific organizational needs. Additional informa-
tion on configuring multiple OutLook Console Switches can be
found in Chapter 4, Cabling.
A single switch box is used to connect 4 or 8 servers. In this
configuration, the keyboard, monitor, and mouse are connected
directly to the unit by their respective cables. You can connect
the OutLook Console Switch to servers located in the same or
adjoining racks.
You can tier multiple OutLook Console Switch units to connect
up to 64 servers. This configuration is shown above, where the
secondary unit’s device port is connected to one of the com-
puter ports on the original or primary unit. Multiple OutLook
Console Switch units can be tiered from the primary unit.
