Installing the Server Remote Control
NOTE: The instructions here and elsewhere in the manual refer to port designations of the
SV1641HDI, the 16-port version of the Server Remote Control. For other versions, note the
following:
SV841HDI: Ports PC A~H = Ports PC A~D and Ports PC 1~8 = PC 1~4 on your product
SV441HDI: Ports PC A~H = Ports PC A~B and Ports PC 1~8 = PC 1~2 on your product
The restrictions on functions such as cascading and the assignment of master and slave
units also apply to all versions of the product.
1. Ensure that the Server Remote Control unit and the computers to be managed are powered
off.
2. If desired, mount the unit in a standardized rack or cabinet.
3. Connect a standard straight-through Ethernet patch cable to the LAN port on the rear panel
of the unit.
4. Connect the opposite end to your network hub, switch, or terminated wall outlet.
5. If you wish to use the product as a local console, connect a standard keyboard (purple
connector) and mouse (green connector) to the PS/2 ports, as marked on the rear panel.
6. Connect a VGA monitor to the video-out port on the rear panel of the unit.
7. (a) If you are using PS/2 connections to your managed computers, connect the end of the
SVECONxx cable that has three connectors (keyboard, video, mouse) to the keyboard,
mouse, and VGA Out ports on a computer (often a server or other critical system). Connect
the opposite end (with a single VGA-style connector) to one of the PC A~H or PC 1~8 ports
on the rear panel of the Server Remote Control. Repeat this procedure for each PS/2-enabled
managed computer. You will be able to add additional managed computers later with the
Server Remote Control powered on.
(b) If you are using USB connections to your managed computers, connect the end of the
SVECONUSxx cable that has two connectors (USB, video) to an available USB port and
VGA Out port on the computer (often a server or other critical system). Connect the
opposite end (with a single VGA-style connector) to one of the PC A~H or PC 1~8 ports on
the rear panel of the Server Remote Control. Repeat this procedure for each USB-enabled
managed computer. You will be able to add additional managed computers later with the
KVM powered on.
