Making connections

Connections to the ServSwitch unit do not need to follow the precise order given in this user guide, although if one or more systems must be hot-plugged, connect these after all other connections have been made.

IMPORTANT: All rear panel connectors are clearly marked, however, take great care not to cross connect any links or devices. You are recommended to connect all of the links within one channel before proceeding to the next channel.

Note: In order to minimize signal emissions, you are strongly recommended to use good quality shielded cables throughout and to fit ferrite cores at each end of every cable.
