Organizing the system
It is recommended that before any ServSwitch configuration or cable
connections be made, plan how the system will be laid out, the placement of the
CPUs and the placement of the ServSwitch. Take into consideration the cable
lengths needed to connect to the KVM station and each CPU. 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 (4-CPU ports, 8-CPU ports, and 16-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. If
you are cascading two or more ServSwitch 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 3. The KVM
cable should have the correct connector types for the equipment used. Connect
the DB25M connector into the connector labeled “Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse”.
Apply power
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.
The green POWER LED will turn on and the power-on diagnostic will run. Wait
until the SELECT 1 LED on the front panel lights before entering any
configuration or switching commands. This assures that the internal diagnostics
have completed. If, for any reason, you need to cycle power on a unit, turn the
power off and wait 10 seconds before re-applying power.
On initial power-up, computer 1 is automatically connected. The SELECT 1
LED on the front panel will light indicating that the KVM station is connected to
the CPU-1 port.
