CHAPTER 4: Checklist of System Components
4. Checklist of System Components
4.1 The Complete Package
These items should be included with your ServSwitch™ Brand CAT5 KVM
Extender package. Please contact Black Box if any are missing or damaged.
• (1) Extender Local Unit.
• (1) Extender Remote Unit.
• (1) 9-VDC 1-amp power-supply transformer and output cord.
• (1) Power-supply input cord suitable for your country or region.
• (1) Copy of this manual.
• Keyboard-, video-, and mouse-extension cabling that will run from your (local)
CPU to the Local Unit. This might be three separate cables, or it might be a
single bonded cable with three connectors at each end. In either case, the
cabling will be 5 to 6 ft. (1.5 to 1.8 m) long and will have the proper
connectors to extend PS/2 keyboard (6-pin mini-DIN male to male), PS/2
mouse (also 6-pin mini-DIN male to male), and VGA video (HD15 male to
female) interfaces.
– If your system uses 5-pin DIN keyboard connectors, you’ll also need
keyboard adapters—one of product code FA211 and one FA212—to
respectively attach (a) the keyboard to any Extender user port and
(b) the CPU’s keyboard port to the Local Unit’s CPU port.
– As mentioned in
Chapter 3
, the Extender doesn’t support serial mice; if
your system is designed for a serial mouse, you’ll have to attach a PS/2
mouse to the Remote Unit instead, and use an AC244A mouse-port adapter
to attach the mouse-extension cabling to one of the PC’s serial ports.
• The Switching model (ACU1049A) should also come with a 1-m (3.3-ft.) three-
to-one CPU cable that will run from the Remote Unit to the remote CPU. This
cable has a DB25 male connector on the Extender end and an HD15 male and
two 6-pin mini-DIN male connectors on the CPU end.
