CHAPTER 3: Installation and Preconfiguration

6. Plug each (remaining) CPU Cable’s video-, keyboard-, and (on IBM type

cables) mouse-port connectors into the corresponding ports on each CPU (or
into the video adapter on a non-VGA Mac). For various reasons, the CPU
should be OFF when you do this. (The Affinity also needs to be configured
before you turn ON the CPUs; see 

Section 3.6

.) Avoid plugging CPUs into the

Affinity if they are already ON; if you accidentally do so with an IBM type CPU,
see 

Section 4.3

to make sure the Affinity is set for the proper keyboard mode.

CAUTION!

Do 

not

attach docking stations for older models of the ThinkPad

®

or

other portable computers to the ServSwitch Affinity. The Affinity
currently supports only “stream mode” (continuous) mouse data, but
older ThinkPad models have to see “prompt mode” (burst-on-request)
mouse data. Some newer docking stations and some newer ThinkPad
models might work with the Affinity, but determining whether a particular
unit will do so will probably require trial and error.

If you want to, you can connect the RS-232 port of a device such as a router, a hub,
or a PC, UNIX

®

, or Sun

®

computer to your ServSwitch Affinity. You can then

manage the device from any user station attached to your Affinity system, as
described in 

Chapter 8

. To make this kind of serial connection, run a special serial

cable (see below) from one of the CPU ports on the Affinity to the serial port on
the device.

We offer four types of cables for connecting devices’ RS-232 serial ports to the

ServSwitch Affinity. (Note that, even though the Affinity’s CPU ports are DB25
male connectors, they are not pinned the same way as the serial ports on a PC,
printer, or modem even when they function as serial ports.) The cables are:

Product code

Device-end connector

Device type

EHN290

DB9 female

PC or compatible DTE

EHN291

DB25 female

PC, terminal, or compatible DTE

EHN292

DB9 male

Modem or compatible DCE

EHN293

DB25 male

Modem or compatible DCE

If you need some other type of cable or adapter to reach some other type of

serial port or device—for example, the serial ports on some Cisco routers or the
8-pin DIN serial ports on legacy Sun computers—call Black Box Tech Support. We
might be able to give you a quote.

Once you’ve run your cable and configured that CPU port as a serial port with

the desired data rate (see 

Section 4.3

), you can access the attached device as you

would during any terminal-emulation session.
