SERVSWITCH™ ULTRA
3.2 Installation Procedure
This section provides complete instructions for the hardware setup of a single
ServSwitch Ultra. (For detailed instructions on the capabilities and concerns
involved in installing a cascaded Switch system, see
Section 3.3
; to make
troubleshooting the installation easier, we recommend that you check the master
and each submaster as it is installed, rather than installing all units, then checking
the entire cascade.) For an illustrated example of the elements of a basic setup, see
Figure 3-1 on the previous page.

If you want to mount the ServSwitch Ultra in a rack, you will need a ServSwitch
Rackmounting Kit. For the 2-port mini model (KV5002MA-R2), our product code
for a 19", 23", or 24" Kit is RMK19M, RMK23M, or RMK24M respectively. For the
slimline models, our product code for a 19", 23", or 24" Kit is RMK19B, RMK23B,
or RMK24B respectively. For the full-size models, our product code for a 19", 23",
or 24" Kit is RMK19C, RMK23C, or RMK24C respectively. See
Appendix E
for more

ONNECTING THE

OUSE
A User Cable (also called a Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse [“MKM”] Adapter Cable)
connects your monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the Switch. Because various styles
of electrical connectors are used by different classes of equipment, we supply this
cable in various styles to match (see
Appendix B
). This cable also comes in the
different lengths supported by different applications (see
Section 4.1.3
,
Appendix B
, and the Caution notice on the next page).
CAUTION!
Make
very
sure that the monitor, keyboard, and mouse you plan to use
can meet the demands of your application—see
Section 4.1
. Also, note
that the ServSwitch Ultra doesn’t support keyboard-line dongles.
1. After you verify that the Switch is turned OFF, plug the DB25 male connector
of the User Cable into the port labeled MONITOR/KEYBOARD/MOUSE on
the Switch’s rear panel.
2. If your user-station equipment is IBM type, plug the cables from your shared
monitor, keyboard, and mouse into the corresponding connectors on the other
ends of the User Cable. If your equipment is Mac or Sun type, plug the mouse
cable into the keyboard, and plug the monitor and keyboard cables into the
corresponding connectors on the other ends of the User Cable.
