3.2 Connecting ROCs to servers

Each computer/server is directly connected to the Switch 116 via the appropriate ROC

using CAT5 cable in a star configuration. No external power is needed at the remote

ROCs. The ROCs draw their power from the computer's keyboard port (ROC PS/2)

or from the USB port (ROC USB). The figures below illustrate the ROC PS/2 and

ROC USB.

3.2.1 Connecting a ROC PS/2

You can connect the ROC PS/2 to a powered on computer, but it must be in the

following order:

1. Connect the Mouse connector to the computer's Mouse port.

Failure to connect in the above order while the server is running, may lead to the

mouse malfunctioning until the server is rebooted.
