CHAPTER 5: Operation
5.2 The Extender’s LEDs
The ServSwitch Wizard Multimedia KVM Extender’s Units A and B each have two
sets of three LEDs on them. The main set of LEDs is on the top panel of each Unit,
so they can be read easily when the Unit is installed on a desktop or surface-
mounted with the included Velcro strips. The auxiliary set of LEDs, identical to the
main set but unlabeled, are on the same side of each Unit as the CAT5 cable jack,
so they can be read easily when the Unit is rackmounted.
