Gateway 7250R Manual De Usuario

          Installation

Multiple system drawers installed in a cabinet can share a single set of 
peripherals if a switch box, such as an autoswitcher, is installed. The 
autoswitcher gives control of the monitor and routes the keyboard and mouse 
inputs to the currently selected system drawer. Installation of the autoswitcher 
is relatively simple and covered in detail in the autoswitcher user manual.

Turn off all system drawers and devices in the cabinet before attaching 
any of the system drawer cables.

If the newly installed system drawer will control other drawers in the 
cabinet, connect the external data cables of the controller cards to the 
controlled devices.

Connect all I/O device cables (keyboard, mouse, video, serial, and 
parallel) to their respective ports on the back of the system drawer.

The system I/O connectors may appear different than in the illustration, 
depending on the system board installed in the server.

If connecting multiple system drawers, use extender cables to link each system 
drawer to the autoswitcher. You must also attach the peripherals to the 
appropriate I/O ports on the back of the autoswitcher. Refer to the following 
figure for connection details.
