SERVSWITCH™ AND SERVSWITCH ULTRA™

of this writing, it does not support docking

stations; your Serv system

might not function properly if any are attached.

Even if you connect your ThinkPad directly (rather than through a

docking station) to the keyboard, video, and mouse feeds from the

ServSwitch, it still won’t work, because the ServSwitch currently supports

only “stream mode” (continuous) mouse data but the ThinkPad has to see

“prompt mode” (burst-on-request) mouse data.

PTIONAL

)

To connect a submaster Serv type switch (ServSwitch, ServSwitch Ultra, Matrix

ServSwitch, ServManager, etc.) to a master ServSwitch, run a ServSwitch to

ServSwitch Expansion Cable (our product code EHN055 for original cable or

EHN274 for [recommended] coaxial cable) from one of the master Switch’s CPU

ports to (one of) the submaster’s MONITOR/KEYBOARD/MOUSE port(s).

Connect the first submaster to the master Switch’s CPU 1 port and use

consecutively higher-numbered ports (CPU 2, CPU 3, and so on) for the rest of the

submasters. If you are connecting each of

several submaster Matrix ServSwitches to

two PC-only or multiplatform master Switches (see Section 3.3),

connect the CPU

ports of one master to the submasters’ MONITOR/KEYBOARD/MOUSE A ports,

and the CPU ports of the other master to the submasters’ MONITOR/KEYBOARD/

MOUSE B ports.

Before installing an advanced configuration, please call Black Box and discuss

your application with a technician.

OWERING

YSTEM

1. Making sure that the connected CPUs and any connected submasters are OFF

(powered down), take the output cord of the ServSwitch’s power supply and

plug its 5-pin DIN male connector into the power jack on the rear panel of

the Switch. Plug the power supply (115 VAC) or its input cord (230 VAC) into

a working outlet.

2. Push the ON/OFF button on the front of the ServSwitch to power it up.

3. Power up the connected CPUs and any connected submasters one by one,

giving each one time to boot completely before turning ON the next one.

When the CPUs are powered up after the ServSwitch, the Switch emulates all

keyboard and mouse functions for automatic boot-up, although (for PC-only

and multiplatform Switches) you might have to issue the Mode command Mn

(see Section 4.3.7) to get proper keyboard and mouse communication.

4. Power up any CPUs connected to submasters one by one, giving each CPU

time to boot completely before turning ON the next one.
