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 unclut-
tered. See Figure 2-1.
