1.1 Basic Installation

CAUTION!

The Summit and all devices you want to attach to it must be unplugged and powered OFF prior to installation.

To install a ServSwitch Summit system with a single Base Unit, take the following steps, referring to Figure 1-1 on the facing page. (For cascaded systems with two or more Base Units, see Chapter 4. For rackmounting instructions, see Appendix E.)

1.Plug the Base Unit’s included power cord into the power inlet on the rear of the Base Unit.

2.Connect one end of a Category 5 UTP cable to RJ-45 user port # 1 on the rear of the Base Unit. You can use one of the Summit’s included CAT5 cables for this purpose if you want to.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 CAT5 port on the rear of a User Station Module (“USM”).

4.Plug the USM’s included power cord into the power inlet on the rear of the USM. Power ON the USM.

5.Connect an IBM® PS/2® type keyboard, PS/2 type mouse, and VGA monitor to the USM. Plug in and power ON the monitor.

Repeat steps 2 through 5 for all other keyboard/monitor/mouse user stations you want to attach.

6.Connect one end of a Category 5 UTP cable to RJ-45 channel port # 1 on the rear of the Base Unit. Again, you can use one of the Summit’s CAT5 cables.

7.Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on a Computer Interface Module (“CIM”).

8.Plug the CIM’s keyboard, video, and mouse cords into a computer CPU’s keyboard, video, and mouse ports.

9.Power ON the CPU.

Repeat steps 6 through 9 for all other CPUs you want to attach.
