Customer Support Information:

THE SERVSWITCH™ FAMILY

Welcome to the ServSwitchTM Family!

Thank you for purchasing a BLACK BOX®ServSwitch™Brand KVM switch! We

appreciate your business, and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your

new ServSwitch keyboard/video/mouse switch will save you money, time, and

effort.

That’s because our ServSwitch family is all about breaking away from the

traditional, expensive model of computer management. You know, the one-size-

fits-all-even-if-it-doesn’t model that says, “One computer gets one user station, no

more, no less.” Why not a single user station (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) for

multiple computers—even computers of different platforms? Why not a pair of

user stations, each of which can control multiple computers? Why not multiple

user stations for the same computer?

With our ServSwitch products, there’s no reason why not. We carry a broad line

of robust solutions for all these applications. Do you have just two PCs, and need

an economical alternative to keeping two monitors, keyboards, and mice on your

desk? Or do you need to share dozens of computers, including a mix of IBM®PC,

RS/6000®, Apple®Macintosh®, Sun Microsystems®, and SGI®compatibles among

multiple users with different access levels? Does your switch have to sit solidly on a

worktable and use regular everyday cables? Or does it have to be mounted in an

equipment rack and use convenient many-to-one cables? No matter how large or

small your setup is, no matter how simple or how complex, we’re confident we

have a ServSwitch system that’s just right for you.

The ServSwitch™family from Black Box—the one-stop answer for all your KVM-

switching needs!

This manual will tell you all about your new Personal ServSwitch™ unit,

including how to install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an introduction to the

Personal ServSwitch, see Chapter 2. The Personal ServSwitch product codes

CHAPTER 2: Introduction

2. Introduction

The Personal ServSwitch allows you to control multiple PCs, easily and affordably,

with just one keyboard, monitor and mouse. There is no software to install and no

boards to configure, so installation is simple. The Switch works with IBM®PC/AT®

and PS/2®compatible systems that support VGA, SVGA, or XGA video.

When you turn on your PCs, they will boot up without interruption, because the

Personal ServSwitch sends out keyboard-response signals that eliminate boot-time

keyboard errors. You can turn on your PCs one at a time or all at once. The first

available channel is automatically selected upon power-up.

You can switch computer channels two ways: with the CPU Select button on the

Personal ServSwitch’s front panel, or with a short keyboard sequence.

The Personal ServSwitch also has these features:

• PS/2 mouse translation: Your PS/2 mouse will work with any attached PC,

regardless of whether the PC uses a serial or PS/2 mouse!

• Full support for the Microsoft®IntelliMouse®.

• You can use standard straight-through-pinned keyboard, mouse, and video

cables to attach computers to the Switch.

• Built-in scanning: Scan through all of your attached PCs automatically, for 2 to

60 seconds each.

• Cascadable expansion: Add up to two additional tiers of Personal ServSwitch

units for system expansion. With cascading, the SW625A-R3supports up to

8PCs; the SW626A-R3supports up to 64 attached computers.

• Hot-pluggable: New PCs can be added or removed without powering down the

Switch or other attached PCs.

•

Status LEDs: Two LEDs per port give you constant readings on the status of your

Personal ServSwitch. The green LED stays lit as long as a powered PC is attached

to the port; the amber LED lights to show that the port is selected for display.
