Appendix A Cable Specifications

This appendix outlines the required cable specifications for the ServerSwitch 8200. Additionally, part numbers for cables available from Lightwave Communications are provided.

Serial Cables:

A serial data cable is provided with each ServerSwitch 8200. This cable may be used either to connect the unit in a cascade or to update the software in flash memory. If another cable must be used, be sure that all wires are present and connect straight through; a cable with crossed lines (e.g. a null modem cable) will not work.

Keyboard/Mouse Cables:

Cables with two male 8-pin mini-DIN connectors must be used. No other cable type is supported.

Video Cables:

Video cables must have all pins to ensure proper function (some vendors' video cables do not have all monitor ID lines). Monitors with HD15 connectors may be used with the ServerSwitch 8200 if an LCI adapter cable or adapter (listed below) is used.

The following table lists the descriptions and Lightwave Communications part numbers of cables that may be used with the ServerSwitch 8200. Contact Lightwave for current prices.
