If a CPU’s keyboard and mouse ports are IBM PS/2 compatible (which
includes current RS/6000 and SGI CPUs), and its video port is a VGA, SVGA,
XGA, or a compatible type with an HD15 connector, first choose your CPU
Adapter Cable:
If your video resolution is not higher than 1024 x 768 pixels, and if the
CPU is within 20 ft. (6.1 m) of the Switch, you can use the standard (non-
coaxial) cable with the product code EHN051.
If your video resolution is higher than 1024 x 768, or if the CPU is farther
than 20 ft. (6.1 m) from the Switch, you should use the coaxial cable with
the product code EHN282. (This cable will come with keyboard and
mouse adapters that you will not use.)
When you have the correct cable, hook it up to the ServSwitch and the CPU
this way, as shown in Figure 7 on the next page:
Plug the cable’s DB25 connector into one of the Switch’s numbered
CPU ports.
Plug the cable’s 6-pin mini-DIN connector with the “MOUSE” label on
it into the CPU’s mouse port.
Plug the cable’s unlabeled 6-pin mini-DIN connector into the CPU’s
keyboard port.
Plug the cable’s HD15 connector into the CPU’s video port.
