Connecting multiple system drawers
Multiple system drawers installed in a cabinet can share a single set of
peripherals if a switch box, such as an autoswitcher, is installed. The
autoswitcher gives control of the monitor and routes the keyboard and mouse
inputs to the currently selected system drawer.
To connect multiple system drawers:
1 Turn off all system drawers and devices in the cabinet before attaching
any of the system drawer cables.
2 If the newly installed system drawer will control other drawers in the
cabinet, connect the external data cables of the controller cards to the
controlled devices.
3 Connect all I/O device cables (keyboard, mouse, video, serial, and
parallel) to their respective ports on the back of the system drawer.
The system I/O connectors may be different from those in the illustration,
depending on the system board installed in the server.
