NOTE: The instructions here and elsewhere in the manual refer to port designations of the SV1641HDI, the 16-port version of the Server Remote Control. For other versions, note the following:

SV841HDI: Ports PC A~H = Ports PC A~D and Ports PC 1~8 = PC 1~4 on your product

SV441HDI: Ports PC A~H = Ports PC A~B and Ports PC 1~8 = PC 1~2 on your product

The restrictions on functions such as cascading and the assignment of master and slave units also apply to all versions of the product.

1.Ensure that the Server Remote Control unit and the computers to be managed are powered off.

2.If desired, mount the unit in a standardized rack or cabinet.

3.Connect a standard straight-through Ethernet patch cable to the LAN port on the rear panel of the unit.

4.Connect the opposite end to your network hub, switch, or terminated wall outlet.

5.If you wish to use the product as a local console, connect a standard keyboard (purple connector) and mouse (green connector) to the PS/2 ports, as marked on the rear panel.

6.Connect a VGA monitor to the video-out port on the rear panel of the unit.

7.(a) If you are using PS/2 connections to your managed computers, connect the end of the SVECONxx cable that has three connectors (keyboard, video, mouse) to the keyboard, mouse, and VGA Out ports on a computer (often a server or other critical system). Connect the opposite end (with a single VGA-style connector) to one of the PC A~H or PC 1~8 ports on the rear panel of the Server Remote Control. Repeat this procedure for each PS/2-enabled managed computer. You will be able to add additional managed computers later with the Server Remote Control powered on.

(b) If you are using USB connections to your managed computers, connect the end of the SVECONUSxx cable that has two connectors (USB, video) to an available USB port and VGA Out port on the computer (often a server or other critical system). Connect the opposite end (with a single VGA-style connector) to one of the PC A~H or PC 1~8 ports on the rear panel of the Server Remote Control. Repeat this procedure for each USB-enabled managed computer. You will be able to add additional managed computers later with the KVM powered on.
