CHAPTER 6: Installation
6.2.5ATTACHING A SERVSWITCH FAMILY KVM SWITCH TO THE USER PORT ON A REMOTE
UNIT OR DUAL-ACCESS LOCAL UNIT
The way you’ll do this will depend on whether the KVM switch’s CPU ports are multiple connectors (see Section 6.2.5.A) or single composite connectors (see Section 6.2.5.B). (Refer to the listings in Section 4.2.4 for which switch models are in which category.)
6.2.5.A Attaching a Switch with Multiple CPU-Port Connectors
Run extension cabling from the user-port connectors on the Remote Unit or Dual- Access Local Unit to the matching CPU-port connectors on the KVM switch. This extension cabling can be individual keyboard-, video-, and mouse-extension cables (product codes EVMPS03-MM for keyboard and mouse, EVNPS05-MM for video), but we recommend our specially bonded three-to-three CPU-extension cable (product code EHN408):
•If you’re using individual extension cables, run the video-extension cable between the two video/monitor connectors, the keyboard-extension cable between the two keyboard connectors, and the mouse-extension cable between the two mouse connectors.
•If you’re using one of our three-to-three bonded extension cables, run the cable’s video strand between the two video/monitor connectors, the cable’s keyboard strand between the two keyboard connectors, and the cable’s mouse strand between the two mouse connectors, as shown in Figure 6-6. (The keyboard and mouse connectors on the bonded cable have different colors and icon labels for easy identification.)
