Getting started
Before installing your DSR switch, refer to the following lists to ensure you have all items that
shipped with the DSR switch, as well as other items necessary for proper installation.
NOTE: While it is possible to use two DSR switches in a cascaded configuration, it can cause function conflicts
and limit the advanced features of the switch. As a result, Avocent does not recommend this configuration.
