1.3 Two-Stage Installation
Up to 32 additional B064-016 KVM switches can be cascaded from the KVM ports of the B064- Series KVM Switch, expanding the
number of connected computers/servers up to 512 units. In a cascaded installation, the top B064-Series KVM Switch is considered the
first-stage unit, the cascaded switches are considered second-stage units.
To set up a two-stage installation:
1. Ensure that power to all the devices you will be connecting, including all pre-existing devices on the installation, have been turned off.
2. Use Cat5e patch cable to connect any available KVM Port on the first-stage unit (the B064-Series KVM Switch) to a B054-001-PS2
or B055-001-PS2 Server Interface Unit.
Note: Although USB SIUs will allow you to cascade to a second stage KVM, only PS/2 SIUs will properly display the cascaded KVM in
the OSD. When connected via PS/2 SIU, the cascaded KVM will be displayed as an expandable port, allowing you to easily access the
connected computers. When connected via USB SIU, the cascaded KVM will be displayed as an ordinary port. To access computers
connected to the cascaded KVM, you will have to use the cascaded KVM’s OSD.
3. Plug the SIU’s KVM connectors to the Keyboard, Video, and Mouse Console ports of the second-stage B064-016 unit.
Note: The distance between the second-stage unit and the first-stage Unit cannot exceed 164 ft. (50m).
4. Use the appropriate KVM Cable Kits (See the Second Stage KVMs owner’s manual), to connect any available KVM port on the
second-stage unit to the Keyboard, Video and Mouse ports of the computer/server you are installing.
5. Plug the power cord that came with the cascaded KVM switch into its power socket, and then into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor,
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or PDU.
6. Repeat these steps for any other second-stage units you wish to connect.
7. First power on the B064-Series KVM Switch and then power on all second-stage KVM switches.
8. Turn on the power to all of the connected computers/servers.
Note: The Power On sequence requires that the B064-Series KVM Switch be powered on first. After the B064-Series KVM Switch has
been powered on, all second-stage units must be powered on. After the second-stage units have been powered on, the connected
computers/servers can be powered on.
The B064-Series KVM Switches supports three types of users:
