During Installation

SOME INSTALLATION TIPS

Computer 1 is the default selection when the ServerLink is
switched on or reset.
It is a good idea to label the cables at each end. This helps
when making any changes to the configuration.
If not using moulded cable sets, tie each cable set together
with cable ties. This will help to keep the sets neat.
If a computer has no mouse then no mouse cable is required.

PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLATION

If no activity occurs, check that at least one computer is
connected to the ServerLink with a keyboard cable. This
will provide power to the ServerLink.
If one of the peripherals does not work, check that both the
input cable and the console cable are correctly inserted.
Otherwise, please refer to the troubleshooting guide later in
this booklet.

Controlling the ServerLink

Front panel operation

The ServerLink can be operated from the front panel.
Pushing the button selects the next tagged computer. (See
the later section “Computer tags”). The repeated pushing
of the button will cycle through all the tagged computers.

Console Control

PRINTSCREEN SELECTION

The printscreen key acts like the front panel button.
Repeated pressing of the printscreen key cycles through the
tagged computers. This feature can be disabled if the
printscreen key is required for its original function.
