Introduction
The SwitchView®1000 switch is a 4, 8 or 16-port keyboard, video and
mouse (KVM) appliance that supports both USB and PS/2 interfaces.
With the capacity to daisy-chain up to 16 levels, the SwitchView 1000
switch also allows direct channel selection via three different methods:
on-screen display (OSD), front-panel push-buttons or keyboard hotkeys.
Time-out and password protection offer secure access to the
SwitchView 1000 switch, while the hot-plug feature allows for
uninterrupted switching and usage.

Getting Started
Before installing your SwitchView 1000 switch, refer to the following
list to ensure you have all items that shipped with the appliance, as well
as other items necessary for proper installation.
Supplied with the SwitchView 1000 switch
• SwitchView 1000 switch
• Rack mount kit
• Power supply
• Daisy-chain cable

• Upgrade cable
• Ground terminator
Installation
If you are installing your SwitchView 1000 switch to a PS/2 interface,
you must power down all servers before connecting your switch to a
server to ensure proper installation. USB interfaces do not need to be
powered down before installation.
NOTE: Linux users may experience mouse failure if hot-plugging directly to the
SwitchView 1000 switch. If your mouse becomes locked, use the mouse reset
hotkeys (see Appendix A) to reset your mouse, or turn the Linux server off before
connecting it to the SwitchView 1000 switch.
Plug one end of the supplied power cord into the back of the switch and
the other end into an appropriate power source. Connect the local
keyboard, monitor and mouse cables to the appropriate ports on the rear
of your SwitchView 1000 switch.
Connect your servers to an available port on the rear of your
SwitchView 1000 switch using the cable appropriate for your interface.
Power up all connected servers. Keyboard and mouse recognition is
now activated and your SwitchView 1000 switch is ready for operation.
Figure 1.2 on page 3 shows a basic configuration for the SwitchView
1000 switch.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment:
- Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at
all times.
- Disconnect the power from the unit by unplugging the power cord from either the
electrical outlet or the unit.
Rack Mounting Your SwitchView 1000 Switch
Your SwitchView 1000 switch may be rack mounted using brackets.
Before installing the appliance, stabilize the rack in a permanent
location. Install your equipment starting at the bottom of the rack, then
work to the top.
CAUTION: Rack Loading - Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in
shelf or rack failure, causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury.
Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount components
beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack
load rating.
