Organizing the system
It is recommended that before any ServSwitch MultiVideo configuration or
cable connections be made, plan how the system will be laid out, the
placement of the CPUs, the placement of the ServSwitch MultiVideo, and
the placement of the monitors. Take into consideration the cable lengths
needed to connect to the KVM station, each CPU, and each monitor.
Identify which computer will be connected to each CPU connector and if
that computer uses a PC mode 2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse. If not, the
CPU port should be pre-configured to change the default keyboard and
mouse types to the correct settings.
If you are adding Slave units to expand your system, it is important that you
understand the width command, especially if your system consists of
different models (2-CPU ports, 4-CPU ports, and 8-CPU ports). For
example, if your system consists of an 8-port master, two 8-port Slave units
and one 4-port Slave unit, and you program the expansion width to 8, there
will be 4 blind ports on the 4-port unit. In other words, the 4-port unit will
appear to the system as having 8 CPU ports. CPU ports 5-8 are blind ports.
If you program the expansion width to 4, then only CPU ports 1-4 on the 8-
port Slave units can be accessed. In systems that have a mixture of
models, it is recommended that the width value be set to the number of
CPU ports on the Slave unit with the most CPU ports.
Installation – Single unit
This section explains how to connect and initially configure the ServSwitch
MultiVideo. If you are cascading two or more units together, please refer to
the Cascade installation section.
Connecting the KVM station
Connect the KVM station’s keyboard, video monitor, and mouse cables to
the corresponding connectors on a KVM cable as shown in Figure 8. The
KVM cable should have the correct connector types for the equipment
used. Connect the DB25M connector into the connector labeled KVM-1 on
the rear panel. If a serial mouse is used on a KVM station, all mice in the
system (on every computer) must be a serial mouse.
Apply power
For the “M” chassis, connect the power transformer to a 110/220-volt
source and to the DIN 5F power adapter connector on the rear panel. Press
the ON/OFF button in the front panel once to turn on the unit. For the “B”
and “C” chassis, connect a power cord to 110-220-volt source and to the
IEC320 connector on the rear panel. Press the rocker switch to the ON
position.
