he ServSwitch

™

is a keyboard/

video/mouse switch compatible

with AT

and PS/2

computer

platforms. You can attach as

many as 256 CPUs to a set of

ServSwitch units and use a single

shared keyboard, monitor, and

mouse to administer them all.

On-screen menus

With the exception of the

KV3104MN-R5, SW721A-R2, and

SW722A-R2 models, you can

harness all that power with easy

on-screen menus—without

having to remember commands!

On-screen menus make

switching far more convenient.

You can even give your servers

names that make sense to you.

Most ServSwitch models

feature on-screen menus.

However, you may want to

consider our KV3104MN-R5,

which is built without menus for

use in situations where not having

Key Features

SERVSWITCH

visible menus is desirable for

security reasons.

For more information, see

On-Screen Menus on page 5.

More ways to switch

You can configure the

ServSwitch, scan CPU ports,

set and trigger a screen-saver

function, set the key-repeat rate

for the keyboard, and perform

other functions via on-screen

menus or by entering simple

commands of two to six

keystrokes from the shared

keyboard. You can also control

the switch (but not actually view

the CPUs) through the RS-232

port.

Cable it up

ServSwitch makes cable

management easy. The control

station and all CPUs attach to the

ServSwitch with special three-

way cables that have a single

standard DB25 male connector on

one end and split out into three

connectors at the other end. This

means that you only have one

cable to run instead of separate

cables for your keyboard, monitor,

and mouse. If you need to

reorganize CPUs or peripherals,

• Put your servers on a rack and use one shared keyboard, monitor,

and mouse to manage them.

• Cascade ServSwitch units to administer all of the PCs in a data

center.
