SERVSWITCH™ WIZARD
3.2 Placement
The ServSwitch Wizard should be placed on a desktop or shelf near your monitor
and peripherals. You can use the optional Remote-Control Module if you want to
put a Wizard farther from your monitor and peripherals.
3.3 Connecting Your Equipment
NOTES
When you connect devices to Wizards’ “control ports” and “CPU ports,”
refer to Figure 2-2 in
Section 2.3
to see where these ports are.
Any unused CPU-port or control-port connectors on a ServSwitch
Wizard can be left vacant.
Most ServSwitch Wizard applications will involve a keyboard, monitor, mouse, and
two to four computer CPUs attached to a
single
Wizard. If that describes what you
want to do, follow the procedure in
Section 3.3.1
.
If you want to switch between more than four CPUs, you’ll need multiple
cascaded
Wizards to connect them together. Follow the procedure in
Section 3.3.2
.
If your CPUs have multiple video outputs, you will need multiple
synchronized
Wizards to switch between the CPUs. Follow the procedure in
Section 3.3.3
.
NOTE
It is theoretically possible to install a synchronized cascade, but we
don’t recommend doing this. If you need to switch between large
numbers of computers with multiple video outputs, we strongly suggest
that you consider a KVM-switching system designed to handle such
applications, such as our ServSwitch™ Multi.
As described in
Sections 3.3.1
through
3.3.3
, you might want to use ServSwitch
Duo User-Extension Cables or CPU-Extension Cables to connect your equipment,
or even ServSwitch Brand KVM extenders if the distances involved are long
enough. And to connect PC/AT style equipment, you’ll need adapters. These
cables, extenders, and adapters are described in
Section 3.3.4
.
