Installing a Tiered AMX System
Multiple KVM switches can be connected to provide access to additional
servers. Figure 2.10 illustrates one possible configuration for your AMX.
Follow the detailed set of procedures following Figure 2.10 to successfully
install your tiered AMX system.
Figure 2.10: Tiered AMX System
To install a tiered AMX system:
1. Position the AMX switches that will be connected and select a switch to be
the primary hub.
2. Connect one end of a UTP cable into a server port on the primary hub.
Route the cable to another switch you want to incorporate into the tiered
system and connect it to an available user port. Continue this process until
all user ports on the tiered AMX switches have been connected.
3. You can now connect servers to the tiered AMX switches. You also can use
these tiered AMX switches to add another layer of AMX switches. Up to
three levels, or tiers, of AMX switches can be connected.
