MATRIX SERVSWITCH™
3.3.3 RACKMOUNTING (OPTIONAL)
If you want to mount the Matrix ServSwitch in a rack, you will need a ServSwitch
Rackmounting Kit. Our product code for a 19", 23", or 24" Kit that fits the 2 x 4
and 2 x 8 Matrix ServSwitches is RMK19B, RMK23B, or RMK24B respectively. Our
product code for a 19", 23", or 24" Kit that fits the 2 x 16 Matrix ServSwitch is
RMK19C, RMK23C, or RMK24C respectively. See Appendix F for more
information.
3.3.4 C
ONNECTING THE MONITORS, KEYBOARDS, AND MICE
User Cables (also called Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse [“MKM”] Adapter Cables) run
from each user’s monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the Matrix ServSwitch. Because
various styles of electrical connectors are used by different classes of equipment, we
supply this cable in various styles to match (see Appendix B). This cable also comes
in the different lengths supported by different applications (see Section 3.2.3,
Appendix B, and the Caution notice in Section 3.3.1).
CAUTION!
Make very sure that each monitor, keyboard, and mouse you plan to use
can meet the demands of your application—see Section 3.2. Also, note
that the Matrix ServSwitch doesn’t support most keyboard-line dongles.
1. After you verify that the Matrix ServSwitch is turned OFF, plug the DB25 male
connectors of the two User Cables into the KVM ports on the Switch’s rear
panel.
2. If your common equipment is IBM compatible, plug the cables from your
shared
monitor, keyboard, and mouse into the corresponding connectors on
the other
ends of the User Cable. If your common equipment is Sun compatible,
plug the mouse cable into the keyboard, and plug the monitor and keyboard
cables into the corresponding connectors on the other ends of the User Cable.
