CHAPTER 3: Installation
For example, if you attach one 4-port submaster and one 8-port
submaster to a master ServManager, then set Width to 4 (and Units to 2
and Max Ports to 12—see
Sections 4.3.8
and
4.3.10
), you will be unable to
scan or switch to the upper 4 ports on the 8-port submaster—the
ServManager has no way of knowing they are even there. On the other
hand, if you set Width to 8 (and Units to 2 and Max Ports to 16), your
system will include 4 “phantom” ports (nonexistent ports 5 through 8 on
the 4-port submaster) that the ServManager will think are there and will
try to scan or switch to, displaying a blank screen.
When you’re ready to begin hooking up the actual units, follow these steps:
1. If this hasn’t already been done, connect the monitor(s), keyboard(s),
and mouse (mice) to the MONITOR/KEYBOARD/MOUSE port(s) of
your master device(s) as outlined in
Section 3.2.2
.
2. Use ServSwitch-to-ServSwitch Expansion Cables (see
Section 3.2.4
) to
connect all the submaster units to the CPU ports of your master(s),
beginning with the master port labeled CPU 1 and continuing with CPU
2, CPU 3, etc. (Avoid installing submasters with different numbers of
CPU ports on the same master; if possible, every Serv unit in your
cascade should have the same number of ports.)
3. Using CPU Adapter Cables, attach your computers to available CPU
ports: the first computer to the port identified as CPU 1, CPU #2 to its
port, etc. (see
Section 3.2.3
). The computers should all be OFF; do
not
turn them ON yet.
4. Attach the power supplies to the master(s) and to the submasters. Plug
in the power supplies, but do
not
turn the master(s) or submasters ON.
5. Turn ON all of the submaster units, then the master unit(s).
6. Turn ON the computer identified as CPU 1. Wait until the boot process
is complete, then turn ON CPU 2, wait until it boots, turn ON CPU 3,
etc., until all of your computers are powered up.
