APPENDIX E: Installing Cards in the ServSwitch Affinity
E.4 Setting the JP1 and JP2 (User-Number) Jumpers on 8-Port Expansion Cards
The 8-Port Expansion Card (KV1306C) for the 8-User and 16-User (KV138 and
KV139) ServSwitch Affinity models has two jumpers labeled JP1 and JP2, as shown
in Figure E-4, that control the numbering of an Affinity chassis’ user ports.

HAT W ILL B E I NSTALLED IN AN 8-U SER A FFINITY
If the card is going into an 8-User Affinity chassis, follow the directions printed on
the card’s circuit board for the “lower” card, even though there is only one card
and its slot is at the top of the chassis:
• Set JP1 and JP2 both to the DOWN position if you want the Affinity system to
recognize any user on Slot (Port Card) 1 as “KVM 1,” any user on Slot (Port
Card) 2 as “KVM 2,” and so on. (This is the default setting.)
• Set JP1 and JP2 both to the UP position if you want the Affinity system to
recognize any user on Slot 1 as “KVM 5,” any user on Slot 2 as “KVM 6,” and so
on.
We recommend that, unless the placement of your user equipment demands
otherwise, you set the user ports to KVM 1 through 4 on your first 8-User Affinity
chassis, KVM 5 through 8 on your second chassis, KVM 1 through 4 again on your
third chassis, KVM 5 through 8 again on your fourth chassis, and so on.

A FFINITY
If a pair of cards is going into a 16-User Affinity chassis, follow the directions
printed on the cards’ circuit boards:
• To assign the users on the chassis’ Slots (Port Cards) 1 through 4 to “KVM 1”
through “KVM 4” respectively, set JP1 and JP2 on the “lower card” (the one
you’ll install in the bottom slot) to the DOWN position and remove the
jumpers from JP1 and JP2 on the “upper card” (the one you’ll install in the top
slot).
• To assign the users on Slots 1 through 4 to “KVM 5” through “KVM 8,” set JP1
and JP2 on the lower card to UP and remove the jumpers from JP1 and JP2 on
the upper card.
• To assign the users on Slots 1 through 4 to “KVM 9” through “KVM 12,”
remove JP1 and JP2 on the lower card and set JP1 and JP2 on the upper card
to DOWN.
