Getting started

Before installing your DSR switch, refer to the following lists to ensure you have all items that
shipped with the DSR switch, as well as other items necessary for proper installation.
NOTE: While it is possible to use two DSR switches in a cascaded configuration, it can cause function conflicts and
limit the advanced features of the switch. As a result, Avocent does not recommend this configuration.

NOTE: DSR switches equipped with dual power supplies (DSR 2035DAC/8035DAC models) are supplied with two
power cords. All other DSR switch models come with one power cord.
