2.6.3 DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SERVSWITCH MULTIBASE UNIT AND MX AND THEIR COMPONENTS

The front panel of a ServSwitch Multi Base Unit (KV150A-R2) or ServSwitch Multi MX (KV155A) has nine

connectors (shown in Figure 2-2), one for each of these peripheral types:

• PS/2 keyboard

• PS/2 mouse

• Serial mouse

• Macintosh (Apple Desktop Bus) mouse and keyboard

• Sun mouse and keyboard

• VGA video

• RS-232 serial-port device

• Microphone

• Speakers

You can use these connectors to attach a keyboard, monitor, and mouse (and optionally a microphone,

speakers, and serial device) to the Switch’s front panel. Any peripherals attached to the front of a Base Unit or

MX together constitute its local console (user station). Through these peripherals, you can access every

computer attached to the Switch. (However, the local console has no on-screen display.)
