Figure 3-9. Tiered Octopus System
To install a tiered Octopus system:
1. Position the Octopus units that will be connected and select a unit to be the
primary hub.
2. Connect one end of a UTP cable into a server port on the primary hub. Route
the cable to the tiered Octopus unit and connect it to an available user port.
Continue this process until all eight user ports on the tiered Octopus unit have
been connected.
3. You may now connect servers to the tiered Octopus units. You may also use
these tiered Octopus units to tier another layer of Octopus units. Up to three
levels, or tiers, of Octopus units can be connected.
To cascade other BLACK BOX KVM switches from the Octopus unit:
1. Place the switches at the desired location as described above. Make sure that
they are turned off and unplugged.
2. Connect the keyboard, video and mouse connectors of the SAM to the
corresponding user ports on the tiered switch.
3. Route a UTP cable from the SAM to the primary Octopus unit and connect it to
an available server port.
For more information on tiering, see Chapter 4.
