SERVSWITCH™ CONSOLE PLUS
26
To begin setting up your system in a “RING” configuration, perform steps 1 –
13 as outlined in setting up a “BUS” configuration. When doing this, keep in
mind that the “OUT” expansion card connector on the first Unit will be
connected with an expansion cable to the “IN” expansion card connector on
the last Unit to complete the “Ring”.
Jumper JP1 must be removed from the lower expansion cards on two Units in
the system to properly maintain cable termination. To identify which Units
must have jumper JP1 removed, calculate the total cable length around the
“RING”. This is from Unit #1’s “IN” connector, around the “RING” and back
to Unit #1’s “OUT” connector.
Jumper JP1 should be removed on Unit #1 and another switch that will divide
the “RING” into approximately equal cable length distances. (See Figure 4 for
a typical example)
Steps:
(Perform steps 1-13 described in the “BUS” installation first, page 14)
(NOTE: Disconnect all cables before removing any expansion card)
1. Remove power from all ServSwitch Console Plus switches.
2. Connect an expansion cable from Unit #1’s “OUT” connector to the last
Units “IN” connector to complete the “Ring”.
3. Remove the bottom expansion card on Unit #1 and the other switch that
divide the “RING” into equal distances and remove jumper JP1 (See
Figure 1), then replace the expansion cards, cables, and apply power to
the two ServSwitch Console Plus switches that jumper JP1 was removed.
All other ServSwitch Console Plus switches should have power off at this
time.
4. Make sure a KVM station is connected to ServSwitch Console Plus #1.
5. Turn on the KVM stations video monitor and apply power to the
remaining ServSwitch Console Plus switches. (Wait for the internal
diagnostic check to complete and fade out).
6. Switch the KVM station to CPU port #1 on Unit #1 by pressing and
releasing the left control [Ctrl] key, type in “1” and press [Enter].
7. Pre-configure the CPU port, if needed, as outlined in steps 4a-e on page
12 if the computer being connected does not use a PC2 type keyboard or
PS/2 mouse (defaults). Pre-configure the CPU port before connecting the
computer. If the computer uses a PC2 type keyboard and PS/2 mouse,
connect it to the corresponding CPU port. No pre-configuration is
needed.
8. Boot the computer if power is not applied. You should see the boot up
sequence on the KVM monitor. If the computer was connected to a pre-
configured CPU port with power applied, you should see that computers
video.
9. Verify that the keyboard, video, and mouse on the connected computer
function properly before proceeding.
