4. Analog Port Operation
4.1 Controlling Your System at the Analog Port
The ServSelect
®
IP includes a local analog port on the back of the unit that allows you to
connect a monitor and a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct analog access. The
appliance uses the OSD, which utilizes intuitive menus to configure your system and
select computers.
4.2 Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers
Use the OSD Main dialog box to view, configure and control servers in the
ServSelect IP system. View your servers by name, port or by the unique Electronic
ID number (EID) embedded in each SAM. You will see an OSD-generated port list
by default when you first launch the OSD.
The Port column indicates the ARI port to which a server is connected. If you
connect a legacy KVM switch to the appliance, the port numbering displays the ARI
port first, then the switch port to which the server is connected. For example, in
Figure 4-1, servers 04-03 and 01-02 are connected to switches.
To access the Main dialog box:
Press
Print Screen
to launch the OSD. The Main dialog box appears.

You can also press the Control key twice within one second to launch the OSD. You can use this
key sequence in any place you see Print Screen throughout this installer/user guide.
