Connecting the DSR Switch Hardware

NOTE: The DSR switch may be rack mounted in a 1U configuration. The DSR switch does not support a 0U configuration.

To connect and power up your DSR switch:

1.Power down the target device(s) that will be part of your DSR switching system. Locate the power cord that came with the DSR switch. Plug one end into the power socket on the rear of the DSR switch. Plug the other end into an appropriate AC wall outlet.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment:

-Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

-Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

-Disconnect the power from the switch by unplugging the power cord from either the electrical outlet or the appliance.

2.Plug your VGA monitor and either PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse cables into appropriately labeled DSR switch ports. You must install both a keyboard and mouse on the local port or the keyboard will not initialize properly.

3.Choose an available numbered port on the rear of your DSR switch. Plug one end of a CAT 5 patch cable (4-pair, up to 10 meters) into the selected port and plug the other end into the RJ-45 connector of a DSRIQ module.

4.Plug the DSRIQ module into the appropriate ports on the back of the target server. Repeat this procedure for all servers that are to be connected to the DSR switch. See To connect a DSRIQ module to a server and To connect a DSRIQ module to a serial device for

more information.

5.Plug a CAT 5 patch cable from your Ethernet network into the LAN port on the back of your DSR switch. Network users will access the DSR switch through this port.

6.(Optional) The DSR switch may also be accessed using a ITU V.92, V.90 or V.34-compatible modem. Plug the 9-pin serial cable into the MODEM port on the back of your DSR switch. Plug the other end into the connector on the modem.

NOTE: Using a modem connection instead of a LAN connection will limit the performance capability of your DSR switch.

7.(Optional) Plug one end of the cable supplied with the SPC power control device into the SPC port on the DSR switch and plug the other end into an SPC device. Plug the power cords from the target servers into the SPC device power outlets. Plug the SPC device into an appropriate AC wall outlet. Plug the SPC device into an appropriate AC wall outlet.

8.If you will be configuring the DSR switch using the console menu interface, connect a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (such as HyperTerminal®) to the SETUP port on the back panel of the DSR switch using the supplied null modem cable. The terminal should be set to 9600 bits per second (bps), 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
