SERVSWITCH™ QUICK INSTALL GUIDE

4.2IBM PC/AT COMPATIBLE KEYBOARD PORT, RS-232 SERIAL MOUSE PORT, VGA TYPE

VIDEO PORT

If a CPU’s keyboard port is PC/AT compatible, its mouse port is an RS-232 serial type, and its video port is a VGA, SVGA, XGA, or compatible type with an HD15 connector, first choose your CPU Adapter Cable:

If your video resolution is not higher than 1024 x 768 pixels, and if the CPU is within 20 ft. (6.1 m) of the Switch, you can use the standard (non- coaxial) cable with the product code EHN048.

If your video resolution is higher than 1024 x 768, or if the CPU is farther than 20 ft. (6.1 m) from the Switch, you should use the coaxial cable with the product code EHN282, including the adapters that come with it.

If you use the EHN048, hook it up to the ServSwitch and the CPU this way, as shown in Figure 8 on the next page:

Plug the cable’s DB25 connector into one of the Switch’s numbered CPU ports.

Plug the cable’s DB9 connector into the CPU’s mouse port.

Plug the cable’s 5-pin DIN connector into the CPU’s keyboard port.

Plug the cable’s HD15 connector into the CPU’s video port.

If you use the EHN282, hook it up to the ServSwitch and the CPU this way, as shown in Figure 9 on the next page:

Plug the cable’s DB25 connector into one of the Switch’s numbered CPU ports.

Plug the cable’s 6-pinmini-DIN connector with the “MOUSE” label on it into the 6-pin mini-DIN end of the included mouse adapter. Then plug

the DB9 end of the adapter into the CPU’s mouse port.

Plug the cable’s unlabeled 6-pinmini-DIN connector into the 6-pin mini-DIN end of the included keyboard adapter. Then plug the 5-pin DIN

end of the adapter into the CPU’s keyboard port.

Plug the cable’s HD15 connector into the CPU’s video port.

Their fanless design also ensures quiet operation, making them ideal for office settings and noise-sensitive areas.

Another noteworthy addition is the KV3108SA-R4, a versatile KVM switch that provides remote management capabilities. This model can control multiple servers and computers from a single console, allowing IT personnel to streamline operations and reduce physical space requirements. With support for high-resolution video output and an intuitive user interface, the KV3108SA-R4 enhances usability while maintaining efficiency in server management.

The SW723A-R4 and SW722A-R4 models further enhance network capabilities with their advanced Layer 3 functions. These switches support static routing and dynamic routing protocols, making them suitable for complex networking scenarios. They are equipped with a comprehensive set of security features, including port security and access control lists (ACLs), ensuring that sensitive information is well-protected against unauthorized access.

All of these Black Box models operate on advanced technologies such as QoS (Quality of Service), which helps prioritize critical traffic and ensures optimal performance during peak usage periods. Additionally, they support Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling the powering of network devices such as IP cameras and VoIP phones without the need for additional electrical outlets.

In summary, the Black Box SW721A-R4, SW724A-R4, KV3108SA-R4, SW723A-R4, and SW722A-R4 represent a fusion of performance, versatility, and security in network infrastructure. These switches are perfect for businesses looking to enhance their connectivity solutions, ensuring that they can meet the demands of an increasingly digital world while maintaining high standards of efficiency and reliability.
