4. Checklist of System Components
4.1 The Complete Package
These items should be included with your ServSwitch™ Brand CAT5 KVM/Serial/
Audio Extender package (please contact Black Box right away if any are missing or
damaged):
• (1) Extender Local Unit.
• (1) Extender Remote Unit.
• (1) 9-VDC 1-amp power-supply transformer and output cord.
• (1) Power-supply input cord suitable for your country or region.
• (1) Copy of this manual.
• Extension cables that will run from your CPU to the Local Unit:
– (1) 6-ft. (1.8-m) serial extension cable with one DB9 female connector and
one DB9 male connector, straight-through-pinned (Pin 1 to Pin 1, Pin 2 to
Pin 2, etc.).
– (2) 6-ft. (1.8-m) audio-extension cables with 3.5-mm plugs.
– Keyboard-, video-, and mouse-extension cabling that will run from your
(local) CPU to the Local Unit. This might be three separate cables, or it
might be a single bonded cable with three connectors at each end. In either
case, the cabling will be 6 ft. (1.8 m) long and will have the proper
connectors to extend PS/2 keyboard (6-pin mini-DIN male to male), PS/2
mouse (also 6-pin mini-DIN male to male), and VGA video (HD15 male to
female) interfaces.
NOTE
If your system uses 5-pin DIN keyboard connectors, you’ll need
keyboard adapters—one of our product code FA211 and one FA212—
to attach the keyboard to the Remote Unit and the CPU’s keyboard
port to the Local Unit respectively.
