Connecting Cascaded KVM Units to the Primary KVM/net

TTo Connect a Secondary KVM Unit to the Primary KVM/net

1.Power off all KVM hardware and connected devices.

2.To connect to the User 2 port of a secondary KVM unit, do the following:

a.Connect one end of a CAT5 cable to a KVM port on the primary KVM/ net.

b.Connect the other end of the CAT5 cable to the User 2 port on the secondary KVM unit.

3.To connect to the User 1 port of a secondary KVM unit, do the following:

a.Connect one end of a CAT5 cable to a KVM port on the primary KVM/ net.

b.Connect the other end of the CAT5 cable to a KVM Terminator.

c.Connect the Terminator’s VGA and PS/2 connectors to the User 1 port on the secondary KVM unit.

See “Connecting Servers to the KVM Ports” on page 78 for detailed instructions on how to connect devices to KVM ports using KVM Terminators.

4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each secondary KVM unit to be connected to the primary KVM/net.
