THE SERVSWITCH

FAMILY

Welcome to the ServSwitch™ Family!

Thank you for purchasing a BLACK BOX® ServSwitch™ Brand USB Micro Extender

model! We appreciate your business, and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your

enhanced extension system will save you money, time, and effort.

That’s because our ServSwitch family is all about breaking away from the traditional,

expensive model of computer management. You know, the one-size-fits-all-even-if-it-doesn’t

model that says, “One computer gets one user station, no more, no less.” Why not a single

user station (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) for multiple computers—even computers of

different platforms? Why not a pair of user stations, each of which can control multiple

computers? Why not multiple user stations for the same computer?

With our ServSwitch products, there’s no reason why not. We carry a broad line of robust

solutions for all these applications. Do you have just two PCs, and need an economical

alternative to keeping two monitors, keyboards, and mice on your desk? Or do you need to

share dozens of computers, including a mix of IBM® PC, RS/6000®, Apple® Macintosh®,

Sun Microsystems®, and SGI™ compatibles among multiple users with different access

levels? Does your switch have to sit solidly on a worktable and use regular everyday cables?

Or does it have to be mounted in an equipment rack and use convenient many-to-one cables?

No matter how large or small your setup is, no matter how simple or how complex, we’re

confident we have a ServSwitch system that’s just right for you.

The ServSwitch™ family from Black Box—the one-stop answer for all your KVM-switching

needs!

This manual will tell you all about your new ServSwitch™ Brand USB Micro Extender,

including how to install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an introduction to the Extender, see

Chapter 2. The Extender product codes covered in this manual are:

own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the

interference.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Shielded PC-equipment cables must be used with this equipment to maintain compliance with

radio frequency energy emission regulations and ensure a suitably high level of immunity to

electromagnetic disturbances.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital

apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of

Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
