If a CPU’s keyboard and mouse ports are IBM PS/2 compatible (which
includes current SGI CPUs), and its video port is an SGI type with a 13W3
connector, use the coaxial CPU Adapter Cable

EHN500

. Hook this cable up to

the ServSwitch and your equipment this way, as shown in Figure 11:

• Plug the cable’s

DB25

connector into one of the Switch’s numbered

CPU ports.

• Plug the cable’s

6-pin mini-DIN

connector with the

“MOUSE” label

it into the CPU’s mouse port.

• Plug the cable’s

unlabeled 6-pin mini-DIN

connector into the CPU’s

keyboard port.

• Plug the cable’s

13W3

connector into the CPU’s video port.
