Black Box KV5300 Series manual 106

SERVSWITCH™ AND SERVSWITCH ULTRA™

Before putting the Serv unit’s top cover back on, test the unit as directed in steps 23 through 28.

23.Temporarily connect the Serv unit to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, along with at least one CPU for every PCB in the Switch. (On a twelve-port unit, for example, one CPU should be attached to port 1, one CPU to port 5, and one CPU to port 9.)

24.Plug the Serv unit back in and turn it ON. (If, using the configuration currently stored in its NVRAM, the unit won’t be able to switch to all of the test CPUs, you might have to change the ServSwitch’s or ServManager’s Maximum Ports, Width, and Units values, or just perform a factory reset. Refer to the appropriate sections of your Serv unit’s manual.)

25.Turn ON the attached monitor and CPUs.

26.Make sure that the Serv unit’s front-panel controls and keyboard commands will still scan and switch between all of the CPUs from the front panel as before. If the Serv unit does not respond properly, call Black Box for technical support.

27.Press and release the shared keyboard’s left [Ctrl] key, then its [F12] key. The Overlay Option Board’s main menu should appear. If it repeatedly fails to appear, call Black Box for technical support.

28.Press the up- and down-arrow keys to move the cursor among the menu selections. Press [Enter] to choose a selection and bring up a submenu. Press [Esc] to return to the main menu. Press [Esc] again to quit the overlay menus and return to normal operation. If any of these functions fails to work, call Black Box for technical support.

29.If the Serv unit seems to be working properly, turn OFF the unit and all attached test equipment. Unplug the unit from utility power and disconnect it from the test equipment.

30.Replace the Serv unit’s top cover.

31.Refasten the top cover by screwing the screws that you removed in step 2 back in.

Once you reconnect it to its normal system (and, if necessary, rebuild its normal configuration), the ServSwitch or ServManager, including its new Overlay Option Board, should be ready for continuous operation.
