Black Box KV150A-R2 manual For RS/6000 and SGI Compatible Computers

CHAPTER 4: Installing CPU-Interface Cards, Server Cables, and Computers

4.4.4FOR RS/6000 AND SGI COMPATIBLE COMPUTERS

If on a given channel you are using an RS/6000 compatible workstation computer that supports standard VGA video, use the same equipment and procedures as you would to install a PS/2 compatible machine—see Section 4.4.1.

If you are using an RS/6000 compatible workstation that outputs its video on 13W3 or 3C3 connectors, or if you are using an SGI (Silicon Graphics) compatible workstation, connect your computer equipment as directed in Section 4.4.1, with this exception: Plug the male side of the appropriate adapter into the workstation’s video port, then plug the video strand of your KV20x0 cable into the adapter’s HD15 female side:

•KV16RS6-2 for RS/6000 (HD15 F to 13W3 M);

•KV163C3-2 for RS/6000 etc. (HD15 F to 3C3 M); or

•KV16SGI-2 for SGI (HD15 F to 13W3 F).

If the workstation outputs sync on green (as will always be the case if it has a 3C3 video port), and your monitors do not all support sync on green, be sure to set positions 1 through 3 of the CPU-Interface Card’s DIP switch to OFF OFF ON, the setting that causes the Card to generate horizontal and vertical sync from sync on green (see Section 4.2).

Be aware that, in order to use a UICD’s on-screen display with a non-multisync monitor, you’ll probably have to change the display’s default synchronization. See Section 9.5.
