Black Box SW628A-R2 Manual De Usuario

CPU Cables run from the ServSwitch Jr. MP to the keyboard port, video-output
port, and (on PC CPUs) mouse port of each CPU you want to directly attach to it.
Different types of this cable fit the connectors on different computers (see
Appendix B

). This cable also comes in the different lengths supported by different

applications (see Section 4.1.3).

Avoid routing cable near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning
compressors, or machines that may create electrical noise. Total length
of original Serv cable from a ServSwitch Jr. to any given CPU should not
exceed 20 feet (6.1 m). For typical equipment and video resolutions,
length of coaxial cable should not exceed 20 ft. (6.1 m) from a
ServSwitch Jr. MP to any attached device (keyboard, monitor, mouse, or
CPU). However, we do provide coaxial cable in lengths up to 100 ft.
(30.5 m), because some CPUs can drive and receive keyboard and
mouse signals at greater distances than others. To go even farther, you
might want to use Station Extenders or CAT5 KVM Extenders. See
Appendix B.

1A. SW627A-R2: After you verify that the ServSwitch Jr. MP is powered OFF, plug

the DB25 male composite connector of the PC CPU’s CPU Cable into the
port labeled “1” on the Switch’s rear panel. Plug the CPU Cable you’re
running to the Mac CPU into the port labeled “2”.

1B. SW628A-R2: After you verify that the ServSwitch Jr. MP is powered OFF, plug

the DB25 male composite connector of the first PC CPU’s CPU Cable into the
port labeled “1” on the Switch’s rear panel. Plug the CPU Cable you’re
running to the first Mac CPU into the port labeled “3”. If you’re using a
second PC, plug the third CPU Cable into the port labeled “2”; if you’re using
a second Mac, plug the fourth CPU Cable into the port labeled “4”.

2. Plug each CPU Cable’s video-, keyboard-, and mouse-port connectors into the

corresponding ports on the CPU. The CPU should be OFF when you do this;
the Switch will automatically adjust to the CPU’s keyboard mode when you
power up the CPU. Avoid plugging CPUs into the Switch if they are already
ON; if you accidentally do so, see Section 4.3.10 to make sure the Switch is set
for the proper keyboard mode.
