Chapter 3: Installation
3. Installation
To reduce the need for long cables, ServSwitch 4site Flex is best placed as close as possible to its video sources. By default,
ServSwitch 4site Flex is delivered as desktop version. Using the rackmount kit (included), it may also be mounted in a 19” rack.
Keyboard, monitor, mouse (console) and USB devices are connected to ServSwitch 4site Flex using the corresponding cables (DVI,
USB or PS/2). KVM extenders will enable you to work remotely via a CAT5, a fiber optic, or an Ethernet connection.
