Customer Support Information:

THE SERVSWITCH™ FAMILY

Welcome to the ServSwitch™ Family!

Thank you for purchasing BLACK BOX®ServSwitch™Brand video equipment!

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

this product will save you money, time, and effort.

Our ServSwitch family is all about breaking away from the traditional, expensive

model of computer management and display. You know, the one-size-fits-all-even-

if-it-doesn’t model that says, “One computer gets one dedicated monitor or 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

many monitors or user stations for the same computer? Why not access or display

any of your computers, anywhere in the world, with any of your monitors or user

stations?

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?

• Do you have to send video from one computer to two different local monitors?

Or do you need to send video from multiple computers to dozens of monitors

both near and far?

• 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! *
