CHAPTER 3: Installation
3. Installation
3.1 What You Will Need
You’ll need these things to be in place before you can
install your ServSwitch Wizard:
• Cables to connect the ServSwitch Wizard to the
keyboard, video, and mouse ports of each of your
PCs. (If you ordered the SW641A-K or SW642A-K
Kit, these cables came with the Switch. See
Sections 2.2
and
3.3
)
Cable specifications are given in the
Appendix
.
(You do not need to connect a mouse cable or cable
strand to a PC CPU if you won’t be using the mouse
with that CPU. If you need to connect the Switch to
the 5-pin DIN keyboard port of a PC/AT compatible
computer, use a standard PS/2 to AT keyboard
adapter such as our product code FA212—included
with the Kits. To connect the Switch to a CPU’s DB9
serial mouse port, use an FA314 adapter; these are
also included with the Kits.)
• A monitor with a standard VGA/SVGA (HD15)
connector that will work when connected directly to
each of your PCs. The ServSwitch Wizard supports
low- and high-resolution monitors.
