Chapter 2: Overview 2. Introduction Thank you for choosing this KVM module which provides full function 8 or 16 port KVM switching without occupying a further rack slot. The module is designed to fit at the rear of the Black Box ServView Rack Tray so that all circuitry is concealed behind the slide out screen and keyboard. Thanks to the use of Black Box Server Access Modules (SAMs) the rear connection panel of the KVM module is neat and uncluttered. See Figure 2-1.

ServView KVM Module 3. Installation 3.1 Mounting The KVM module is designed to interlock precisely with the rear of the ServView rack tray. 1 If the ServView rack tray is already fitted, either remove it or carefully gain access to the rear of the rack mount unit. 2 Locate the connection plate at the rear of the rack tray and orientate the KVM module so that its universal Centronics® 36-pin connector aligns with the socket on the connection plate. See Figure 3-1.
Chapter 3: Installation 3.2 Connections Connections to the rack tray video display, keyboard and trackpad are all handled by the single link that is made when the KVM module is attached to the tray. Therefore, all server, network and power connections are located at the rear of the unit. 3.2.1 EXTernal link (Network or Remote User) The single RJ-45 socket labeled as EXT is used to allow either global or remote users to login and control connected servers.
ServView KVM Module 3.2.2 Server Access Module Links Dependant on the KVM module used, there will be either 8 or 16 RJ-45 sockets labeled as COMPUTER CONNECTIONS. Each socket supports a CAT 5, 5e or 6 link to an individual server system. Note: The maximum length of the cable can be up to 10 metres (32 feet), however, for KVM modules KVT8CATUV and KVT16CATUV ensure that the overall distance between a remote user (connected to a remote extender) and any server must not exceed 300 metres (980 feet).
Chapter 3: Installation 3.2.3 Power Connection The KVM module is provided with a power adapter capable of supplying the display monitor, keyboard and KVM module. IMPORTANT: You must only use the manufacturer approved power adapter with the KVM module. IMPORTANT: Due to the length of the power cable, if the rack tray is mounted high in the rack it may not be possible to place the power adapter at floor level.
ServView KVM Module 4. Configuration 4.1 Initial Configuration The precise details for configuration of the KVM module will depend on the model being used.
Chapter 5: Operation 5. Operation In operation, you can select server channels in a number of ways, including: • On screen menu, • Keyboard hotkeys, • Control buttons on the ServView rack tray (see below).
