8 – Cascading switches

The number of servers administered from the one Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse 

Console can be expanded to a maximum of 256 by cascading KVMs. 

Each port of the first or Master KVM can support a Slave KVM through a cascade 

cable. This effectively connects up to 8 or 16 servers – depending on Slave KVM 
connected - to the one port on the Master KVM. All of the Master KVM’s ports may 

be used in this way, yielding a maximum of 256 servers controlled by the one 
Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse Console using 16 port KMVs.

KVM.

The Master KVM will need changes made to the set up, please refer to the
