Two Level Installation - Nisuta NS-KVMUV8 User Manual

Two Level Installation

To control even more computers, up to 16 additional switches can be cascaded
from the first NS-KVMUV8 / NS-KVMUV16 User Manual. As many as 256
computers can be controlled from a single console in a complete inst allation.
Tables showing the relation between the number of computers and the number
of NS-KVMUV8 / NS-KVMUV16 units needed to control them are provided
on page 52 in the Appendix.
To set up a two level installation, do the following:
1. Ground the master NS-KVMUV8 / NS-KVMUV16 and make sure that
power has been turned off to all the computers you will be connecting up.
2. Using the console cable provided, connect a keyboard, mouse, and
monitor to the NS-KVMUV8 / NS-KVMUV16 console port. Refer to the
Cable Connection Diagrams on the following page.
3. Using a KVM cable, connect any available KVM port on the master
NS-KVMUV8 / NS-KVMUV16 to the console port on the slave
NS-KVMUV8 / NS-KVMUV16.
4. Use KVM cable sets (described in the Cables section, page 3), to connect
any available KVM port on the NS-KVMUV8 / NS-KVMUV16 installation
to the keyboard, video and mouse ports of the computers you are installing.
5. Repeat the above steps for any additional units you wish to add to the
installation.
6. The Power On sequence requires that all slave units be powered on first.
After they are all on, the master unit must be powered on next. Only after
all the switches have been powered on in this sequence, can the computers
be powered on.
