CHAPTER 2: Introduction

• The units have flash memory, so you can upgrade their firmware through their

RS-232 ports.

• Rackmount kits are also available.

• Full-size 4-, 8-, and 12-port units can be expanded up to 16 ports by installing a

4-Port Expansion Board (see Appendix F).

Features exclusive to the PC and multiplatform models:

• You can access up to 256 CPUs with one keyboard, monitor, and mouse. (This

would require the maximum cascaded system of seventeen 16-port Serv units.)

• Support IBM PC compatible computers.

• Mouse can be PS/2

, Microsoft

serial, PC Mouse

(Mouse Systems

) serial, or

serial 8-bit type.

• Support all modes of PS/2 and PC/AT

compatible keyboards.

• Support SVGA and color or monochrome XGA or VGA video at resolutions up

to 1280 x 1024 noninterlaced (although all video types except VGA require

coaxial or special cables).

Features exclusive to the Macintosh and multiplatform models:

• Support Mac

compatible computers and Apple Desktop Bus™ (ADB™) mice

and keyboards.

• Support Apple video, at resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 noninterlaced, over

coaxial cables. (You’ll need a Mac Adapter for ServSwitch for each CPU that

outputs video at resolutions over 640 x 480; see the Note on page 23.)

Features exclusive to the Sun and multiplatform models:

• Support Sun compatible computers, mice, and keyboards.

• Support Sun video, at resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 noninterlaced, over

coaxial cables.

Please note that for the multiplatform models, the supported peripheral types will

depend on the CPU types. Also, the multplatform environment requires a

multisync monitor capable of syncing to the output of all your CPUs’ video cards

and of supporting their highest resolutions. Refer to Section 4.1.

The only difference between the ServSwitch and the ServSwitch Ultra is that the

ServSwitch Ultra comes from the factory with on-screen display features. These

features can be added to any regular ServSwitch by installing an optional daughter-

board, the ServSwitch Overlay Option Board (our product code SW720C-R3; see

Appendix E). Please call Black Box Technical Support for more details.
