Installation

If you are installing your SwitchView 1000 switch to a PS/2 interface, you must power down all servers before connecting your switch to a server to ensure proper installation. USB interfaces do not need to be powered down before installation.

NOTE: Linux users may experience mouse failure if hot-plugging directly to the SwitchView 1000 switch. If your mouse becomes locked, use the mouse reset hotkeys (see Appendix A) to reset your mouse, or turn the Linux server off before connecting it to the SwitchView 1000 switch.

Plug one end of the supplied power cord into the back of the switch and the other end into an appropriate power source. Connect the local keyboard, monitor and mouse cables to the appropriate ports on the rear of your SwitchView 1000 switch.

Connect your servers to an available port on the rear of your SwitchView 1000 switch using the cable appropriate for your interface. Power up all connected servers. Keyboard and mouse recognition is now activated and your SwitchView 1000 switch is ready for operation. Figure 1.2 on page 3 shows a basic configuration for the SwitchView 1000 switch.
