SERVSWITCH™ WIZARD

3.4 Powering the Wizard

Once you’ve installed your ServSwitch Wizard system and attached your equipment

to it, you need to apply power to each Wizard. You can do this in either of two

ways:

If you are not using the optional power supply: Power up the attached CPUs. The

ServSwitch Wizard (which has no ON/OFF switch) might be able to start operating

automatically; it can draw power from the attached CPUs’ keyboard interfaces, and

a single cable connection to a CPU’s keyboard port is usually sufficient to power

the Wizard if the cable isn’t more than 3 meters (10 feet) long. (If more than one

computer is connected to the Wizard, you’ll probably be able to use longer cables;

the Wizard will draw power intelligently from all attached computers.) As you

power up your CPUs, watch the Wizard’s 7-segment display as discussed in

Section 5.1: If it shows the number “1” or the letter “P,” the Wizard will be able to

operate using the power it’s receiving from the CPUs, but if it’s blank or shows an

“o” shape, the Wizard is not getting enough power from the CPUs and you’ll have

to either use the power supply or swap in shorter CPU cables.

If you are using the power supply: Plug the power supply’s output cord into the power

jack on the back of the ServSwitch Wizard, then attach the input cord to the power-

supply transformer’s IEC 320 inlet, then plug the input cord into utility (mains)

power. (In this situation, always apply power to the ServSwitch Wizard first, then

power on the monitor and each of the computers; if you power up the computers

before the Wizard, the computers might not recognize the presence of the mouse

or keyboard.) The Wizard should start operating immediately; it has no ON/OFF

switch.
