CHAPTER 3: Installation

receive the file at 9600 baud (9600 bps). (In this case, you must download the file at 9600 bps.)

6.Turn ON the computer identified as CPU 1. Wait until the boot process is complete, then turn ON CPU 2, wait until it boots, turn ON CPU 3, etc., until all of your computers are powered up.

7.Set each master’s Maximum computers, Expansion units, and Expansion width values so that the master can scan correctly and properly control the interplay of the submaster units. You can do this with the on-screen display—see Sections 5.2.3 through 5.2.5.

8.You might need to set some or all of each master’s remaining configuration parameters, especially the keyboard mode for some of your ports (see Sections 5.2.1, 5.2.2, and 5.2.6 through 5.2.10).

9.Save the configuration changes you just made to the master unit’s nonvolatile memory as described in Section 5.1.3.

Your cascaded ServSwitch system should now be ready for operation.
