SERVSWITCH™ AFFINITY

On the top Expansion Card in a 16-User Affinity:

• Input port IN 1 and output port OUT 1 carry video signals for KVM 9 and

KVM 10 (Users 9 and 10, attached to the Port Cards in slots 1 and 2

respectively if the Expansion Card is set for KVM 9 through 12).

• Input port IN 2 and output port OUT 2 carry video signals for KVM 11 and

KVM 12 (Users 11 and 12, the Port Cards in slots 3 and 4 respectively if the

Expansion Card is set for KVM 9 through 12.

• Input port IN 3 and output port OUT 3 carry video signals for KVM 13 and

KVM 14 (Users 13 and 14, attached to the Port Cards in slots 1 and 2

respectively if the Expansion Card is set for KVM 13 through 16).

• Input port IN 4 and output port OUT 4 carry video signals for KVM 15 and

KVM 16 (Users 15 and 16, the Port Cards in slots 3 and 4 respectively if the

Expansion Card is set for KVM 13 through 16).

To set the numbering on the 8-Port Expansion Card, use the two jumpers labeled

JP1 and JP2, as shown in Figure 3-4.

If you’ll be placing the card in an 8-User chassis, follow the directions printed on the

board for the “lower” card, even though there’s only one card and it goes into the

top of the chassis:

• For any given card, 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.)

• For any given card, set JP1 and JP2 both to the UP position if you want the

Affinity system to recognize any user on Slot (Port Card) 1 as “KVM 5,” any

user on Slot (Port Card) 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 the first chassis,

KVM 5 through 8 on the second chassis, KVM 1 through 4 again on the third

chassis, KVM 5 through 8 again on the fourth chassis, and so on.
