Black Box ACS235A, ACS236A manual Connecting Power to the Local and Remote Modules

CHAPTER 5: Installation

CAUTION!

One of the most common errors in cabling the Extender is to attach fiber strands “1” and “2” to the Remote Module backwards (strand 1 to port 2, strand 2 to port 1). Notice that while the fiber ports on the Local Module are arranged in left-to-right order as “R,” “G,” “B,” “1,” and “2,” the ports on the Remote Module are arranged in the order “R,” “G,” “B,” “2,” and “1”.

5.5 Connecting Power to the Local and Remote Modules

The ServSwitch Brand Fiber KVM Extender comes with a pair of identical autosensing power supplies. Take these steps to attach them to your Extender’s Local and Remote Modules:

1.Attach input cords to the IEC 320 male power inlets on the two power supplies’ transformers. (This cord will be included for North American customers; other customers might have to get a cord appropriate for their local outlets.)

2.Attach the transformers’ output cords to the 6-pin DIN connectors on the Local and Remote Modules (the connectors labeled “Power”).

3.Plug the input cords into a standard utility-power (mains) outlet providing between 100 and 240 volts of AC power.

The Extender units will begin operating immediately; they don’t have ON/OFF switches.

5.6 Powering Up the Rest of the System

To power up the other devices attached to the Extender units, take these steps:

1.Plug in and turn ON the monitor.

2.Plug in and turn ON the CPU. It should boot normally.

This completes the installation of your ServSwitch Brand Fiber KVM Extender system. It should be ready for continuous operation.
