SERVSWITCH™ QUICK INSTALL GUIDE

2.3IBM PS/2 COMPATIBLE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE, RS/6000 MONITOR

If your keyboard and mouse are IBM PS/2 compatible (which includes current RS/6000 keyboards and mice, as well as the Microsoft IntelliMouse), and your monitor is an RS/6000 type with a 13W3 video connector, use the coaxial Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse Adapter Cable (User Cable) with the product code EHN521-0001. (Note that this cable is available as a stock item only in a 1-ft. [0.3-m] length; call for a quote if you need a longer version.) Hook this cable up to the ServSwitch and your equipment this way, as shown in Figure 4:

•Plug the cable’s DB25 connector into the Switch’s MONITOR/ KEYBOARD/MOUSE port.

•Plug the mouse into the cable’s 6-pinmini-DIN connector with the “MOUSE” label on it.

•Plug the keyboard into the cable’s unlabeled 6-pinmini-DIN connector.

•Plug the monitor into the cable’s 13W3 connector.
