Description
Connect your computers to these ports with “CPU
Adapter Cables.” At the ServSwitch Ultra end these
cables have a DB25 male connector; at the other
ends, they have appropriate connectors to plug into
your CPUs’ video, keyboard, and mouse ports. These
cables take the signals that would normally pass
between the CPUs’ ports and the monitor, keyboard,
and mouse, and carry them between the CPUs’ ports
and the Switch instead.
You could also connect “submaster” Serv type
switches to these ports using “ServSwitch-to-
ServSwitch Expansion Cables.” These cables have
DB25 male connectors at both ends; at the submaster
end, they should be plugged into a MONITOR/
KEYBOARD/MOUSE port. Refer to
Sections 2.5
and
3.2.4
