SERVMANAGERS
2.5 Cable Requirements
To connect CPUs to the ServManager, you need one “CPU Adapter Cable”
for each CPU. This cable reaches the CPU’s video-output, keyboard, and
mouse ports.
Likewise, to connect “submaster” (slave) ServSwitches to the ServManager,
you need one “ServSwitch-to-ServSwitch Expansion Cable” for each subsidiary
unit.
Lastly, you can connect the ServManager to the shared monitor, keyboard,
and mouse with a single “Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse (MKM) Adapter Cable.”
The exact variety or varieties of these cables that you’ll need will depend on
the equipment you are connecting for your application. Refer to
Section 4.1
for information on equipment that requires special cables, and to
Appendix B
for the available types of stock cables and the corresponding
product codes. Also refer to
Chapter 1
or the first Caution notice on
page 19 for information about maximum cabling distances.
NOTES
SVGA (over longer distances) and XGA video place special demands on
cabling that the regular MKM Adapter Cables and CPU Adapter Cables
typically cannot meet. For these applications, you should use coaxial
cables that can carry video signals not only farther but also at higher
resolutions. See
Appendix B
and the first
Caution
notice on page 19.
To share a 9515, 9517, or 9518 monitor, you will need special cabling.
Call Black Box for technical support; we can give you a quote on these
types of cable.
2.6 Equipment Requirements
If the CPUs you are controlling through the ServManager are not all of the
same type—especially if they are completely different hardware platforms
(IBM, Mac, etc.)—you will have to be careful to choose a common monitor,
keyboard, and mouse that adequately support all of the CPUs. For full details,
see
Section 4.1
