(Lower and upper expansion cards on the 4xE model) From: Unit #2’s “OUT” expansion card connector To: Unit #1’s “IN” expansion card connector.
8.Verify that the block of system CPU ports from Unit #2 is recognized on the status screen. If Unit #2 is a
9.Sequentially apply power, then connect the expansion cables to the remaining switches as explained in steps 7 and 8. Always with power on the unit and from the “OUT” connector of the Unit being added to the “IN” connector of the previously installed Unit.
10.When all Bus cabling is in place and reporting properly to the status screen, save the configuration to update all boards in the system.
Verifying the Video path
Steps 11, 12, and 13 verify that the video path is properly routed to a KVM station and all cabling is connected properly. Make sure all UltraMatrix switches are on, all Bus cabling is in place and a KVM station is connected to UltraMatrix #1, KVM #1 port.
11.Connect a computer to any CPU port on the last UltraMatrix switch. Switch the KVM station to this CPU port by pressing and releasing the left control [Ctrl] key, type in the CPU port number, then press [Enter]. This connects the KVM station to that CPU port.
12.Boot the computer; you should see the
13.Connect other KVM stations, if needed, to the UltraMatrix switches and verify they operate properly. (See Appendix F. for proper KVM station placement)
Connecting the computers
If power must be maintained on a computer, perform steps
(All UltraMatrix switches in the system should have power “ON” and no configuration menu displaying on any KVM monitor.)
14.Make sure all KVM stations video monitors and all UltraMatrix switches have power applied and a KVM station on Unit #1.
