CHAPTER 3: Installation
Once you make these connections, the ServSwitch
Wizard is ready for use, unless you need to plug in its
optional power supply (see the next section). It should
start to operate as soon as one of the connected
computers is powered on. Watch the Power LED: If it
lights steadily, the Switch is operating; if it flashes or is
dark, the Switch either is not receiving power at all (are
all of the computer cables attached at both ends?), is not
receiving enough power, or is not operating correctly.
Depending on the video resolution and cabling
distances of your application, you might need to get a
power supply for the Switch. If you can’t determine
where the problem is, call Black Box for technical
support.
3.4 Connecting to AC Power (Optional)
You might need an optional power supply (our product
code PS649) if you’re running long distances to your
user equipment or CPUs or if you’re using very-high-
resolution video. Once you’ve installed your ServSwitch
Wizard and attached your equipment to it, you can:
1. Plug the power supply’s output cord into the jack
on the side of the Switch.
