THE SERVSWITCH™ FAMILY
Welcome to the ServSwitch™ Family!
Thank you for purchasing a BLACK BOX
®
ServSwitch™ Brand KVM extender! We
appreciate your business, and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that this
product will save you money, time, and effort.
Our ServSwitch family is all about breaking away from the traditional, expensive
model of computer management and display. You know, the one-size-fits-all-even-if-it-
doesn’t model that says, “One computer gets one dedicated monitor or 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 many monitors or
user stations for the same computer? Why not access or display any of your computers,
anywhere in the world, with any of your user stations or monitors?
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 mice,
keyboards, and monitors on your desk? Or do you need to share many computers,
including a mix of IBM
®
PC, RS/6000
®
, Apple
®
Macintosh
®
, Sun Microsystems
®
,
and SGI™ types among multiple worldwide users with different access levels?
• Do you have to send video from one computer to two different local monitors? Or
do you need to send video from multiple computers to dozens of remote monitors?
•
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, use convenient many-to-one
cables, and have a rackmounted user station that folds and slides into 1U of space?
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 video and KVM switching and
extension needs!
