CHAPTER 3: Installation

3. Installation

3.1 What You Will Need

You’ll need these things to be in place before you can install your ServSwitch

Wizard:

• Cables to connect the ServSwitch Wizard to the keyboard, video, and mouse

ports of each of your computers. If you’ll be installing synchronized or

cascaded Wizards, you’ll also need cables to attach the Wizards to each other.

Cable specifications are given in the Appendix. (You don’t need to connect a

mouse cable if you are not using the mouse.)

• A monitor with a standard VGA (HD15) connector that will work when

connected directly to each of your computers. The ServSwitch Wizard supports

low- and high-resolution monitors.

• A standard PC/AT or PS/2 style keyboard. (If you’re using an AT keyboard

with a 5-pin DIN connector, you’ll need a standard AT to PS/2 keyboard

adapter—product code FA212—to connect it to the ServSwitch Wizard.)

• A PS/2 style two- or three-button Microsoft

or Logitech™ compatible mouse

or a Microsoft IntelliMouse

or IntelliMouse Explorer compatible mouse. If

you want to use the mouse to switch channels on the ServSwitch Wizard, you’ll

need a three-button mouse or an IntelliMouse. (The Wizard supports other

IntelliMouse compatible “Internet mice”—fitted with a wheel or other

scrolling control, and sometimes additional buttons—including several models

by Logitech and Genius™.)

All of the mouse connections from ServSwitch Wizard to the attached

computers support either PS/2 mouse ports or RS-232 serial mouse ports. The

Wizard automatically converts PS/2 mouse data and commands to serial-

mouse data and commands, but you’ll still need the appropriate adapter—

product code FA314—to connect the Wizard to a PC with a serial mouse port.

See Section A.2 in the Appendix.

The Wizard will operate without a mouse connected if you don’t want to

use one.

• A suitable mouse driver for your PCs. Supported types are:

- PS/2 or RS-232 two-button mouse driver by any manufacturer.

- Microsoft mouse drivers, including those for the IntelliMouse.

- Logitech mouse drivers, including those for two-button, three-button, and

wheel mice.
