5. Installation
To install your ServSwitch™ Brand CAT5 PS/2 Micro Extender system, first test-
place it (if you want to) as described in
Section 5.1
, then attach devices as
described in
Section 5.2
, then finish your installation as described in
Section 5.3
.
5.1 Test-Placing the Extender System (Optional)
We recommend testing your Extender system with a test setup confined to a single
room; that way, if any components are bad, you can find out before you run cable
halfway across your campus. If you want to do this, gather your equipment in your
test site; otherwise, place the Extender’s Local and Remote Units, and the
equipment you’ll be attaching to them, in your desired locations.
5.2 Attaching Devices
For instructions on making device connections, refer to these subsections:
•
Section 5.2.1
for attaching a CPU to the Local Unit.
•
Section 5.2.2
for attaching a KVM switch to the Local Unit.
•
Section 5.2.3
for attaching a keyboard and mouse to the Remote Unit.
•
Section 5.2.4
for attaching a KVM switch to the Remote Unit.
As you attach devices to the Extender, here are some things to keep in mind:
• The keyboard connectors on the Extender Units are labeled with a keyboard
icon and the mouse connectors are labeled with a mouse icon. Make sure you
don’t attach your keyboard and mouse, or your keyboard- and mouse-
extension cables, backwards.
• Each powered device should be powered OFF when you attach it.
