Customer Support Information:

THE SERVSWITCH™ FAMILY

Welcome to the ServSwitchTM Family!

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

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

new ServSwitch keyboard/video/mouse switch 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™ Wizard DVI, including

how to install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an introduction to the ServSwitch

Wizard DVI, see Chapter 2. The ServSwitch Wizard DVI product codes covered in

this manual are:

KV1002A KV1022A KV1042A

KV1004A KV1024A KV1044A

This manual also includes information about the Remote-Control Module

accessory, whose product codes are:
