SERVSWITCH™ AND SERVSWITCH ULTRA™

2. Introduction

Thank you for choosing a ServSwitch™ or ServSwitch Ultra™. Designed with your

needs in mind, your new Switch will simplify your job by helping you organize your

multiple-computer application. With your Switch—depending on which model you

have—you can use one keyboard, monitor, and mouse to access a number of IBM

PC compatible, Apple

Macintosh

compatible, and/or Sun Microsystems

compatible computers, so you can significantly reduce your equipment overhead

and end keyboard and monitor clutter.

IMPORTANT NOTE

In the remainder of this manual, we will use the term “ServSwitch” to

refer to both the ServSwitch and the ServSwitch Ultra except where it is

necessary to differentiate the two.

This chapter describes everything that comes with the Switch, the external and

operating features of the Switch, and the cabling you’ll need for the Switch.

2.1 The Complete Package

Your ServSwitch package includes the Switch unit, its power supply, a modular

cable and adapter for connecting one of the unit’s RS-232 ports to a remote PC,

and this manual. If you didn’t receive everything, or if anything arrived damaged,

contact Black Box.

2.2 Operating Features

Some of the useful features of all models of the ServSwitch:

• Microprocessor-controlled keyboard and mouse switching.

• You can select the desired CPU from keyboard, front panel, or RS-232 port.

• Front-panel LEDs show the selected CPU and its power-on state.
