–three into a Base Unit whose Local Console you’re using;

–four into an EXP or into a Base Unit whose Local Console you’re not using; or

•In a cascaded multi-Switch system, expansion cables as necessary to connect Switches to each other: KV1600 for 10-foot [3-m] regular expansion cable, KV1600100 for 100-ft. (30.5-m) regular cable, or EYN737MS-MM for Category 5 expansion cable.

•In order to attach terminals, hubs, routers, or other serially accessed control devices to the Switch, you’ll need one Serial Control Card (KV1609C) and four Category 5 patch cables (EVMSL05) for every four such machines, plus a single Management Card (KV1608C-R2) and a DB9 null-modem cable (EYN257H) to hook up a PC to manage the Serial Control Cards with.

With the Hub you’ll need:

•Several Transmit Modules (KV1701C) and Receive Modules (KV1702C), plus Category 5 expansion cables (EYN737MS-MM) to connect the Hub to the other Switches in your system.

2.6.2RACKMOUNTING THE SERVSWITCH MULTI (OPTIONAL)

The ServSwitch Multi SB and ServSwitch Multi Hub can be mounted in a standard 19" equipment rack without any additional hardware. Just match the holes in the protruding ends of the Switch’s faceplate to an appropriate set of matching holes on your equipment rack, then fasten the assembly to the rack using your own screws, bolts, or cage nuts (not included).

If you want to mount a ServSwitch Multi Base Unit, you’ll need a ServSwitch Multi Rackmounting Kit (RMK19L); to mount a ServSwitch Multi EXP, you’ll need the RMK19LE Kit. See Appendix F for instructions on how to rackmount either of these models.

The ServSwitch Multi MX is not designed to be rackmounted.
