3.1 Basic Installation
To perform a basic (single-unit) ServSelect installation, take these steps:
1. Power down all computers that will be part of your ServSelect system.
2. Put your ServSelect, PS/2 keyboard, video monitor, and PS/2 mouse where
you want them to be.
3. Plug your monitor cable into the port labeled
on the back of your
ServSelect. Plug the cables from your PS/2 keyboard and mouse into the
ports labeled
and
respectively. Refer to Figure 3-1 below.
Figure 3-1. User-station connections.
4. Get a computer-input cable (our product code EHN056). Plug the DB25
female connector at one end of this cable into any lettered channel port
on the rear of the ServSelect. The other end of the input cable will have five
connectors: an HD15 male connector for your video port, 5-pin DlN male
and 6-pin mini-DIN male connectors for your AT or PS/2 keyboard port
respectively, and DB9 female and 6-pin mini-DIN male connectors for your
serial or PS/2 mouse port respectively. (The 6-pin mini-DIN PS/2 mouse
connector is marked with a yellow band or mouse icon to distinguish it from
the 6-pin mini-DIN keyboard connector.) Plug these connectors into the
correpsonding ports; make sure to use only the keyboard and mouse
connectors that are appropriate for your PC, and leave the others
unconnected. Refer to Figure 3-2 on the next page.
