Black Box SW628A-R2 Manual De Usuario

Many switches of this type have what seems like ten million connectors on their
rear panels: one for each CPU’s video cable, one for each keyboard cable, and a
third for each mouse cable. The potential for tangling or mismatching cables is
high.

By contrast, you can connect the ServSwitch Jr. MP to your CPUs with one CPU

Cable for each CPU. This single cable reaches the CPU’s video-output, keyboard,
and (on PC CPUs) mouse ports.

The exact variety or varieties of this cable that you’ll need will depend on the

equipment you are connecting for your application. Refer to Appendix B for the
available types of this cable and the corresponding product codes. Also refer to
Chapter 1

or the first Caution notice in Section 3.3 for information about

maximum cabling distances.

Finally, you can plug the shared monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly into the

ServSwitch Jr. MP.

You will have to be careful to choose a common monitor, keyboard, and mouse
that adequately support all of your CPUs. For full details, see Section 4.1.
