SERVSWITCH BRAND CAT5 KVM EXTENDER FOR SUN
6. Installation
6.1 Test-Placing the Extender (Optional)
We recommend testing your KVM Extender for Sun system with a test setup
confined to a single room; that way, if any components are bad, you can find out
before you run cable halfway across your campus. If you want to do this, gather
your equipment in your test site; otherwise, place the extender’s Local and Remote
Units, and the equipment you’ll be attaching to them, in your desired locations. (If
you’d like to rackmount a unit, see Appendix B.)
6.2 Attaching Devices
CAUTION!
Please talk to Black Box Technical Support about your equipment and
adapters before using any Sun 13W3 type video adapters to attach an
older Sun CPU or monitor to your extender system.
