Chapter 3: Installation
3. Installation
3.1 Module/ServTray Placement
The 8-Port DVI USB Module units are 1U high and are designed to fit in a
KVT517A-WIDE ServTray. When deciding where to put the module (attached to a
ServTray), consider the following questions:
• Where are the computers you want to connect to the ServTray with module?
• How long are the cables you want to use to connect your computers to the
ServSwitch?
CAUTION: Do not place cables near machines that create electrical noise such as
fluorescent lighting, air conditioning equipment, etc.
3.2 Hardware Installation
This section provides instructions for the basic hardware setup of the module.
CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure that power to all the devices that you will
be connecting is turned off.
To prevent damage caused by ground potential differences, make sure
that all devices are properly grounded. If you don’t follow these
instructions, your computers, the ServTray, and/or the module could be
damaged.
3.2.1 Powering On the Module
Connect the 9-VDC, 4.0-amp power adapter’s barrel connector to the power jack
on the rear of the module. Then plug the power adapter cable into an available
power outlet.
3.2.2 Connecting the Computers
1. Connect the ServSwitch 2-in-1 USB cable (EHN900024U-0006,
EHN900024U-0010, or EHN900024U-0015)
to the computer’s USB keyboard
and mouse port, and the computer’s DVI monitor port.
2. Connect the other end of the 2-in-1 cable to the module’s DVI and USB
connectors.
