Note: Prior to installation, ensure that all devices being connected to the B060-032-8 are powered off.

In a single-level installation, there are no additional KVM switches cascaded or daisy-chained from the B060-032-8. To set up a single-level installation, refer to the following steps:

Connect the console to the Console Interface Unit (CIU). Select the appropriate CIU for the console you are installing. (See chart on page 4 for more information.) Plug your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into their respective ports on the CIU. Each port is identified with an icon.

Connect the CIU to the B060-032-8. Use Cat5 cable to connect the Link port of the CIU to one of the user ports on the B060-032-8 rear panel. (Repeat

and for all KVM consoles that you wish to connect. Up to eight KVM consoles may be connected in this manner.) The distance between the B060-032-8 and the CIU must not exceed 500 ft. (150m).

Connect the Server Interface Unit (SIU) to the computer. Select the appropriate SIU for the computer/server you are installing. (See chart on page 4 for more information.) Plug the connectors on the SIU into the appropriate ports of the computer/server you are installing.

Connect the SIU to the B060-032-8. Use Cat5 cable to connect any available CPU port on the B060-032-8 to the SIU. (Repeat and for all computers to be connected. Up to 32 computers may be connected in this fashion.) The distance between the B060-032-8 and the SIU must not exceed 500 ft. (150m).

After all computers have been connected, plug the female end of the power cord into the B060-032-8’s power socket, and plug the male end into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, PDU or UPS System.

For each CIU, plug the power adapter cable into the unit’s power jack, and plug the power adapter into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, PDU or UPS System.

Turn on power to the B060-032-8.

Turn on power to all connected devices.
