CHAPTER 3: Installation

3.2 Installation Procedure

This section provides complete instructions for the hardware setup of a single ServSwitch. (For detailed instructions on the capabilities and concerns involved in installing a cascaded Switch system, see Section 3.3; to make troubleshooting the installation easier, we recommend that you check the master and each submaster as it is installed, rather than installing all units, then checking the entire cascade.) For an illustrated example of the elements of a basic setup, see Figure 3-1 on the previous page.

3.2.1RACKMOUNTING (OPTIONAL)

If you want to mount the Switch in a rack, you will need a ServSwitch Rackmounting Kit. For the 2-port mini model (SW721A-R4), our product code for a 19", 23", or 24" Kit is RMK19M, RMK23M, or RMK24M respectively. For the slimline models, our product code for a 19", 23", or 24" Kit is RMK19B, RMK23B, or RMK24B respectively. For the full-size models, our product code for a 19", 23", or 24" Kit is RMK19C, RMK23C, or RMK24C respectively. See Appendix E for more information.

3.2.2CONNECTING THE MONITOR, KEYBOARD, AND MOUSE

A Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse (MKM) Adapter Cable connects your monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the ServSwitch. Because various styles of electrical connectors are used by different classes of equipment, we supply this cable in various styles to match (see Appendix B). This cable also comes in the different lengths supported by different applications (see Section 4.1.3, Appendix B, and the first Caution notice on the next page).

CAUTION!

Make very sure that the monitor, keyboard, and mouse you plan to use can meet the demands of your application—see Section 4.1. Also, note that the ServSwitch doesn’t support keyboard-line dongles.

1.After you verify that the Switch is turned OFF, plug the DB25 male connector of the MKM Adapter Cable into the port labeled MONITOR/KEYBOARD/ MOUSE on the Switch’s rear panel.

2.Plug the cables from your shared monitor, keyboard, and mouse into the corresponding connectors on the other ends of the MKM Adapter Cable.

SW725A-R4, SW722A-R4, SW723A-R4, KV3108SA-R4, SW724A-R4 specifications

The Black Box SW721A-R4, SW724A-R4, KV3108SA-R4, SW723A-R4, and SW722A-R4 are cutting-edge network switches that cater to the demanding needs of modern data environments. These models are designed to provide high performance, reliability, and advanced features suitable for both enterprise-level deployments and smaller networks.

The SW721A-R4 and SW724A-R4 are primarily layer 2 switches that support essential networking protocols such as IEEE 802.1Q for VLAN tagging, ensuring secure and efficient traffic management. With robust forwarding capabilities, these switches boast high-speed Gigabit Ethernet ports, which enable seamless data transfer and reduce latency in data-driven applications. 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.
