Thank you for purchasing a BLACK BOX

 ServSelect

™

 III! We appreciate your business, 

and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your new

 

ServSelect III will save you 

money, time, and effort.

That’s because the

 

ServSwitch family is all about breaking away from the traditional, 

expensive model of computer management. You know, the one-size-fits-all-even-if-it-
doesn’t model that says, “One computer gets one user station, no more, no less.” Why not a 
single user station (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) for multiple computers—even computers 
of different platforms? Why not a pair of user stations, each of which can control multiple 
computers? Why not multiple user stations for the same computer?

With our ServSwitch products, there’s no reason why not. We carry a broad line of robust 
solutions for all these applications. Do you have just two PCs, and need an economical 
alternative to keeping two monitors, keyboards, and mice on your desk? Or do you need to 
share dozens of computers, including a mix of IBM® PC, RS/6000®, Apple® 
Macintosh®, Sun Microsystems®, and SGI™ compatibles among multiple users with 
different access levels? Does your switch have to sit solidly on a work table and use 
regular everyday cables? Or does it have to be mounted in an equipment rack and use 
convenient many-to-one cables? No matter how large or small your setup is, no matter 
how simple or how complex, we’re confident we have a ServSwitch system that’s just 
right for you.

The ServSwitch

™

 family from BLACK BOX—the one-stop answer for all your KVM 

switching needs!
