Computer system (via SAM)
Each computer system is connected to the
ServSwitch CX Quad IP unit via a Server Access
Module (SAM) and standard category 5, 5e or
6 cabling. SAMs are available in various formats
to suit differing computer system types and
their particular connector styles.
Each SAM uses Keep Alive technology to
ensure that the keyboard and mouse inputs
to the computer remain active, even when
the particular channel is not selected. This action ensures that there are no
connection delays or problems as the port is selected.
To connect a computer system
1 Ensure that power is disconnected from the ServSwitch CX Quad IP unit and
the system to be connected.
2 Locate the required SAM (there are three types available) and attach its
video, keyboard and mouse (PS/2-style, USB or Sun) to the relevant sockets
on the computer system.
3 Lay a suitable length of category 5, 5e or 6 cabling between the computer
system and the ServSwitch CX Quad IP unit. The maximum length of the
cable is 10 m (32 feet).
4 Attach the connector of the cable
run to the socket of the SAM.
5 At the other end of the cable run, attach the cable connector to one of the
sockets labelled

on the rear panel of the ServSwitch
CX Quad IP unit.

Note: Each SAM is
specifically shaped so
that it can be secured
using a cable tie around
its middle. In this way,
two SAMs can also be
neatly joined together,
back-to-back.
