The Complete Package
Recognize these situations?
• You wait more than 30
minutes to get through to a
vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t
help you or gives you the
wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase
order number and the tech
refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p.m. and you need help,
but your vendor’s tech
support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data
Communications magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed
say that getting the technical
support they need is extremely
important when choosing a vendor.
But even though network
managers pay anywhere from 10
to 20% of their overall purchase
price for a basic service and
support contract, what they
receive falls far short of their
expectations—and isn’t worth
the $10,000 to $100,000 they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee
the best value and support. You
can even consult with our Tech
Support experts before you buy if
you need help selecting the right
component for your application.

Chassis Sizes
With on-screen menus (standard on every ServSwitch unit except
for the KV3104MN-R5, SW721A-R2, and SW722A-R2), you can give each
CPU a name that makes sense to you. That makes it easy to identify the
server you want and switch to it. Plus, you can easily configure CPU,
keyboard, and mouse types via the on-screen menus.
You can position your on-screen menus anywhere on your computer
screen and keep the name of your current server on the screen at all
times or for just a few seconds after switching. Built-in security features
keep unwanted users from using the menus to infiltrate your system.
