2.6.3DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SERVSWITCH MULTI BASE 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.)
