THE SERVSWITCH™ FAMILY

Welcome to the ServSwitchTM Family!

Thank you for purchasing a BLACK BOX®ServSwitch™Brand KVM-switch

accessory! We appreciate your business, and we think you’ll appreciate how your

enhanced ServSwitch 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 Serial Upgrade Kit for ServSwitch™

Affinity, including how to install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an introduction

to the Serial Upgrade Kit, see Chapter 2. The Serial Upgrade Kit product code

CHAPTER 2: Introduction

2. Introduction

The Serial Upgrade Kit for ServSwitch™ Affinity consists of a pair of replacement

chips for the Port Cards with user ports (KV1301C) in an Affinity system. When

combined with current versions of the Affinity firmware, these chips give the

Affinity the ability to conduct communication sessions with serial equipment (PCs,

routers, hubs, etc.) attached to their CPU ports. You’ll need an Upgrade Kit for

each KV1301C Port Card in your ServSwitch Affinity system.

NOTE

If you have -R3 version Matrix erv witches attached to your

erv witch Affinity system, you won’t be able to attach serial devices to

the Matrix erv witches, but you will be able to access serial devices

attached to Affinity-chassis CPU ports from user stations attached to

the Matrix erv witches.

Here are some of the serial features your Affinity will have after you install the

upgrade:

• VT100, VT101, VT102, and VT202 terminal emulation.

• Control RS-232 serial DTE or DCE terminal-interfaced devices.

• Easy to use—serial access and switching works the same way as KVM switching

always has.

• Has an eight-page scroll buffer.

3. Installation

To install the chips of your Serial Upgrade Kit for ServSwitch™ Affinity on a

KV1301C Affinity Port Card, take these steps:

CAUTION!

The Port Card and the Upgrade Kit’s chips can be damaged by static

electricity, so take

every reasonable precaution against it. At the very least,

touch

a metallic surface before removing the Card and/or replacing its

chips; if possible, stand on an anti-static mat and wear a grounding

strap or anti-static gloves.

1. Check the current revision level of the OSD firmware installed on your

Affinity system’s Port Cards. If it’s at least “O4.2,” you’ll be able to install this

Serial Upgrade Kit at your site, but if it’s an earlier revision, the Upgrade Kit’s

chips won’t be compatible with the OSD daughtercard, and you’ll need to call

Black Box Technical Support. Without messing around with the Affinity’s

hardware at all, you can check the revision level in one of two ways:

(a) Cycle power to the Affinity and watch the monitor screen at one of the

attached user stations (the OSD firmware revision will scroll by quickly); or

(b) Cycle power to the Affinity and watch the screen of a terminal or

terminal emulator (running 9600,8,N,1) attached to one of its serial ports.

You can also check the labels of the OSD chips themselves, as described in

step 6.

2. Make sure the Port Card you want to upgrade is a KV1301C. (The KV1301Cs

have DB25 female user ports labeled “KVM.” The KV1300C Port Cards, which

don’t have user ports, don’t need to be upgraded.)

3. Power off the Affinity chassis and disconnect all cables from the Port Card.

4. Unscrew and remove the screws on the far left and far right ends of the Port

Card’s front panel. Remove the Port Card from its slot in the chassis.

CHAPTER 3: Installation

5. Find the OSD daughterboard that rises above the top of the right-hand end of

the Port Card, shown in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1. Top view of the Port Card’s daughterboard, with the two chips

you’ll be replacing shown in black.

6. Look at the two existing chips shown in black in the illustration of the

daughterboard in Figure 3-1. The smaller one on the left will be labeled

“Aa.b” and the large one on the right will be labeled starting with “Oc.d”,

where a, b, c, and dare revision numbers.

If the large right-hand chip is labeled with a revision earlier than O4.2,

you won’t be able to install the Upgrade Kit in the field. Please skip the

remainder of this procedure and call Black Box Technical Support.

If the large right-hand chip is labeled with revision O4.2 or later, use a

PLCC chip puller to carefully remove the two chips from the daughterboard.

7. Use the chip puller to carefully replace the chips you removed in step 6 with

the two chips from the Serial Upgrade Kit, lining up the DOT or pointer and

the notched corners in order to orient the new chips in the same direction

that the old chips were facing.
