Black Box Server Access Module Leaflet

The SAM-enhanced UTP cable design eliminates

complex cabling connections in your switch system.

A single cable delivers real-time, high bandwidth video

for KVM switching up to 1,000 feet between the

server and the user. The SAM's advanced technology

provides built-in memory and security, enabling you

to store server names and prohibit unauthorized

access to the server from the UTP cabling.

The SAM draws its power from the server and

supports Keep Alive functionality, enabling your

server to operate properly with or without connectivity

to the Octopus unit. Keep Alive functionality is

suspended during upgrade.

For further instructions on hardware connection,

software setup and security configuration, please

refer to the installer/user guide included with the

Octopus unit. See http://www.blackbox.com for the

latest software and firmware updates.

If the server is not already powered down, do so now.

Plug the SAM connectors into the appropriate ports

on the back of the server. Next, power up the server.

When the server has completely powered up,

proceed to the next step.

Connect one end of the UTP cable to a server port

on the Octopus unit and the other end into the

SAM. If the Octopus unit is not already powered

up, do so now.

NOTE: Do not reboot the server during the 

upgrade process.

If a server is unavailable through the Octopus system,

make sure that all Octopus servers and components are

powered up and all cables are correctly attached. If

operation is not restored, test your connection with another

SAM, or with another port on the Octopus system.
