4Connect both the analog switch and the system to an appropriate power source.

5Power up the system.

6Power up the analog switch.

NOTE: If the analog switch is powered up before the system, it may result in only one server module displaying in the analog switch OSCAR, instead of 10.

NOTE: In addition, to the steps outlined above, some analog switches may require you to perform additional steps to ensure that the KVM switch server modules appear in the analog switch OSCAR. See the analog switch documentation for additional information.
