Chapter 3: Installation
3. Installation
3.1 Installation Steps
1. Connect the ServSwitch CX or CX Uno to the RJ-45 port on the server access module (SAM).
2. Connect the remaining connectors to a compatible target computer.
3.2 Typical Applications
3.2.1 KV0081A or KV0161A
The SAMs work with the ServSwitch CX Uno, 8-Port (KV0081A), or ServSwitch CX Uno, 16-Port (KV0161A). They provide high-
end, multiplatform KVM switching over CATx with remote access. Place the remote console up to 984.3 feet (300 m) away. The
ServSwitch supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz (when used at distances less than 328 feet [100 m]), and reads DDC
EDID from the display to avoid plug-and-play issues.

3.2.2 KV0424A-R2
The SAMs also work with the ServSwitch CX, (1) Local Console Port + (4) Users, (24) Servers (KV0424A-R2). Up to four users can
access and control 24 multiplatform servers via CATx cable. The switch can support up to 1920 x 1200 resolution and can switch
via on-screen menus. This ServSwitch is ideal for small and mid-size data centers.

3.2.3 KV1416A-R2
And, the SAMs work with the ServSwitch CX KVM Switch with IP, (1) Analog Console Port + (4) Users, (16)
Servers (KV1416A-R2). Run this multiplatform switch over CATx cable and access servers over the Internet. Connect one remote
user and up to three local users. IP support enables you to access servers remotely. This ServSwitch provides 1600 x 1200 remote
resolution with scalable windows.
