CHAPTER 3: Installation
an FA312 adapter (and EHN408 coaxial CPU-
Extension Cable) if the mouse port is serial
(see the start of Section 3.2).
2. Run the cable to the Spectra. Plug the video strand
into video port . Then plug the keyboard and
mouse strands into that section’s keyboard port
labeled and mouse port labeled .
3. If you’ll be using headphones or speakers with
CPU 1, run audio cable from the CPU’s audio-
output port to the audio port labeled in the
Spectra’s CPU 1 area.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for CPU 2, using the ports
on the Spectra associated with video port .
3.6 Powering Up the System and Switching from the Keyboard
Power up the two CPUs attached to the ServSwitch
Spectra one at a time, giving the
first one time to boot
completely before turning ON the second one. (After
you turn ON the first CPU, the Spectra itself will begin
operating; it gets its power from the CPUs and has no
ON/OFF switch.) The Spectra will talk to the computers
as if it were a keyboard and mouse, so that they can boot
up automatically.
