Configurations
There are many ways to configure your Server Console Switch to meet your
specific organizational needs. Additional information on configuring multiple
Server Console Switches can be found in Chapter 3.

A single switch box is used to connect four or eight servers. In this
configuration, the keyboard, monitor, and mouse are connected directly
to the unit by their respective cables. You can connect the Server
Console Switch to servers located in the same or adjoining racks.
