Computer system (via SAM)

Each computer system is connected to the ServSwitch CX Uno IP unit via a Server Access Module (SAM) and standard category 5, 5e or 6 cabling. CAMs are available in various formats to suit differing computer system types and their particular connector styles.

To connect a computer system

1Ensure that power is disconnected from the ServSwitch CX Uno IP unit and the system to be connected.

2Locate the required SAM (there are five types available) and attach its video, keyboard and mouse (PS/2-style, USB or Sun) connectors to the relevant sockets on the computer system.

3Lay a suitable length of category 5, 5e or 6 cabling between the computer system and the ServSwitch CX Uno IP unit. The maximum length of the cable can be up to 10 metres (32 feet), however, bear in mind that the overall distance between a remote user and any computer must not exceed 300 metres (980 feet).
