CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

To adjust the mouse acceleration:

Before a server can be connected to the ServSelect IP, an adjustment to mouse acceleration must be made. Use the default Microsoft® Windows® PS/2® mouse driver for all attached Microsoft Windows systems attached to the appliance.

For Microsoft Windows NT® (using default drivers):

1.From the desktop, select Start - Settings - Control Panel - Mouse.

2.Click on the Motion tab.

3.Set the pointer speed to Slow. You will need to set this for any Windows NT user account that will be accessing the Windows NT system through the appliance.

For Microsoft Windows 2000/Windows XP®:

1.From the desktop, select Start - Settings - Control Panel - Mouse.

2.Click on the Motion tab.

3.Set the Acceleration setting to None and the speed setting to the default of 50%.

To connect a SAM adapter to each server:

1.Locate the SAM adaptors for your ServSelect IP unit.

2.Attach the appropriately color-coded cable ends to the keyboard, monitor and mouse ports on the first server you will be connecting to the unit.

3.Attach one end of the CAT5 cabling that will run between your SAM and ServSelect IP unit to the RJ-45 connector on the SAM adapter.

4.Connect the other end of the CAT5 cable to the desired ARI port on the back of your ServSelect IP unit.

5.Repeat steps 2-4 for all servers you wish to attach.

NOTE:

When connecting a Sun SAM adapter, you must use a multi-sync monitor to accommodate Sun computers that support both VGA and sync-on-green or composite sync.
