You can add N8191-10F server switch unit by using the dedicated connection cable (K410-119 (1A))
to each server port of the server switch unit or N8143-69 console unit. Such the connection is called
cascade connection.
With eight N8191-10F server switches in cascade connection, you can select a console from up to 64
servers. In cascade connection, the installation area can be greatly reduced since it requires only one
console.
The N8191-10F server switch unit in which the console is connected is called the "master", and the
N8191-10F server switch units connected to each port of the master unit are called "slaves".
