Installation of the CPU IP involves a number of basic connections to some or all of the following items:
•Host computer or KVM switch ð
•Local keyboard, video and mouse
•IP network port
•Modem/ISDN port
•Power input
•Power control port
Host computer or KVM switch
The CPU IP can either connect directly to a single host computer or to range of hosts via one or more KVM switches.
To connect a host computer or KVM switch
1Ensure that power is disconnected from the CPU IP and the computer or KVM switch to be connected.
(Note: If it is not possible to switch off devices prior to connection, then a ‘Hot plug’ procedure is available – see the Hot plugging and mouse restoration section for more details).
2Connect the plugs at one end of a KVM cable set to the keyboard, video and mouse sockets of the computer or KVM switch (for mouse plug conversion information – see Appendix 7).
