INSTALLATION

Switch Installation – Single Unit

The basic installation of a single ServSwitch Console Plus is an easy and
straightforward procedure. Perform the below steps for all computers that will
be connected. It is recommended that all computers be powered off. When a
computer is connected and then booted, the ServSwitch Console Plus will
automatically determine the keyboard and mouse types used for that computer
and no pre-configuration is needed.

Figure 2. Single Unit configuration
The Unit in Figure 2 can be any ServSwitch Console Plus model

If removing power from a computer is not practical, pre-configure the
ServSwitch Console Plus to define that CPU port’s keyboard and mouse types.
This procedure should only be done if the CPUs keyboard and mouse can be
disconnected and re-connected without affecting the interface.
The default keyboard type is PC mode 2, and the default mouse type is PS/2. If
the computer being connected, with power applied, uses a PC2 keyboard and
PS/2 mouse, no pre-configuration is needed. If not, pre-configure the keyboard
and mouse types for that CPU port before connecting the computer (steps 4a-

4e).

Perform the following installation steps for each computer that will be
connected to the ServSwitch Console Plus. Sequentially connect the computers
starting with computer #1.

Please refer to the safety section before installation
