OVERVIEW
With the ServSelect
™
III (1 x 8), a single user can access up
to eight servers and network devices from a PS/2
®
console.
Plus you can cascade up to 16 ServSelect III units to control up
to 128 servers in your system! Simply put, the ServSelect III is
ideal for IS departments where you need access to multiple
servers.
Convenient on-screen menus.
Intuitive on-screen menus enable you to configure your
system and select servers and other switches. You can easily
identify each server by a unique name, ID number, or port
number. Two operational modes enable you to manage
your switching activities: Scan and Broadcast.
In Scan mode, the ServSelect III sequentially displays the
status of up to eight servers on-screen. You select which
servers are scanned in a sequence and how many seconds
each is displayed.
In Broadcast mode, a user can simultaneously control more
than one server to ensure that all selected servers receive the
same input.
Keep-alive power safeguards, password protection,
and more.
BIOS-level access ensures connection to the attached
servers, regardless of the servers’ health or operating system.
What’s more, the ServSelect III’s keep-alive safeguard enables
the attached servers to continue functioning even if the
switch experiences a power failure.
Protect your system with a screen-saver password for
each user. When a user station is unused for a period of time,
the monitor enters a screen-saving mode and can only be
unlocked by typing a password.
The ServSelect III is also flash upgradable, which means it’s
built for your system’s future. Upgrade your firmware at any
time by using the switch’s simple update utility.
Optimal video resolution.
You get optimal 1600 x 1280 resolution for analog VGA,
SVGA, and XGA when you connect a user station to the
ServSelect III with a 10-foot (3-m) cable. Keep in mind that
the longer the cable, the lower the resolution. For example,
resolution is a maximum 800 x 600 when the connection is
50 feet (15.2 m).
Although the system adjusts automatically to the optimal
video parameters, you can fine-tune the image manually and
set refresh and frame rates. The ServSelect III supports Display
Data Channel (DDC) Plug-and-Play, which autoconfigures the
monitor and is compliant with the VESA DDC2B standard.
The genius of ServSelect III Cables.
Make connections to individual servers with nonflashable
ServSelect III Cables. These CAT5 cables provide keyboard,
video, and mouse connectivity. Simply connect a cable’s RJ-45
end to your ServSelect III and the other end to your server.
Multiplatform connectivity.
