Each computer/server is directly connected to the ServSwitch Multiuser via the

appropriate SAM using CAT5 cable in a star configuration. No external power is

needed at the SAMs. They draw their power from the computer’s keyboard port

(SAM PS/2) or from the USB port (SAM USB). Figures 5 and 6 show the SAM PS/2

and the SAM USB.
