Black Box SERVSWITCH Series Montage- und Wartungsanleitung
SERVSWITCH FAMILY

Welcome to the ServSwitch™ Family!
Thank you for purchasing a BLACK BOX® ServSelect IP ! We appreciate your
business, and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your new ServSelect IP
will save you money, time, and effort.
That’s because our ServSwitch family is all about breaking away from the
traditional, expensive model of computer management. You know, the one-size-fits-
all-even-if-it-doesn’t model that says, “One computer gets one user station, no more,
no less.” Why not a single user station (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) for multiple
computers — even computers of different platforms? Why not a pair of user
stations, each of which can control multiple computers? Why not multiple user
stations for the same computer?
With our ServSwitch products, there’s no reason why not. We carry a broad line of
robust solutions for all these applications. Do you have just two PCs, and need an
economical alternative to keeping two monitors, keyboards, and mice on your desk?
Or do you need to share dozens of computers, including a mix of IBM® PC,
RS/6000®, Apple® Macintosh®, Sun Microsystems®, and SGI compatibles among
multiple users with different access levels? Does your switch have to sit solidly on a
work table and use regular everyday cables? Or does it have to be mounted in an
equipment rack and use convenient many-to-one cables? No matter how large or
small your setup is, no matter how simple or how complex, we’re confident we have
a ServSwitch system that’s just right for you.
The ServSwitch family from BLACK BOX — the one-stop answer for all your
KVM switching needs!
This manual will tell you all about your new ServSelect IP, including how to install,

required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les
limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le
Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.
EUROPEAN UNION DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
computing device in accordance with the specifications in the European standard
EN55022. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio-
frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
might cause harmful interference to radio or television reception.
However, there is no guarantee that harmful interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, you can
correct the interference with one or more of the following measures:
a. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
b. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
c. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
d. Consult the supplier or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS

2. Introduction
2.1 Features and Benefits
The BLACK BOX® ServSelect IP switches combine analog and digital technology to
provide flexible, centralized control of data center servers. This solution delivers
secure digital access and flexible server management from anywhere at any time.
NOTE:
Throughout the text, the word “appliance” is used generically to describe the ServSelect IP switch.
The ServSelect IP is a rackmountable keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switch
configurable for analog or digital connectivity. Each ServSelect IP has
16 Analog Rack Interface (ARI) ports for connecting devices and operates over
standard LAN connections. Access servers across a 100BaseT Ethernet connection or
directly through an analog port on the ServSelect IP for analog KVM connectivity and
administration. Video resolutions through the analog port can be up to 1600 x 1280
with an end-to-end cable length of up to 15 meters (50 feet). Digital users can achieve
video resolution of up to 1280 x 1024 with a cable length of up to 10 meters (32 feet)
between the ServSelect IP and the server.

Server Access Modules (SAMs) and serial SAMs
The SAM and serial SAM with CAT 5 design dramatically reduces cable clutter,
while providing optimal digital display resolution and video settings. The built-in
memory of the SAM simplifies configuration by assigning and retaining unique
server names or Electronic ID (EID) numbers for each attached server. This
integrated intelligence enhances security and prevents unauthorized access to a
server through cable manipulation. The SAM is powered directly from the server
and provides Keep Alive functionality even if the ServSelect IP is not powered.
The serial SAM is a DCE device that provides the primary interface between a serial
device and the ServSelect IP appliance. It provides VT100 terminal emulation, break
suppression and port history in a convenient module format. The serial SAM is
compatible with the ARI ports of the ServSelect IP appliance. See Appendix B for
more information on the serial SAM.
NOTE:
The serial SAM requires an additional power supply (PS123A or PS123E).
Access via network connection
No special software or drivers are required on the attached computers. Digital users
access the ServSelect IP and all attached systems via Ethernet from a PC running
ServSelect IP software. This software resides on the user’s PC only. User PCs can
be located anywhere a valid network connection exists. The ServSelect IP can be
configured on a separate network from your data network, allowing access to your
servers even if your applications network is down.
Point and click control with ServSelect IP software
The ServSelect IP software is a cross-platform management application that allows
you to view and control the ServSelect IP and all attached servers. The ServSelect IP
software provides secure authentication, data transfers and username/password
storage. By utilizing a browser interface for navigation with an intuitive split-screen
interface, this software provides you with a single point of access for your entire
system. From here, you can manage the ServSelect IP, install a new ServSelect IP or
launch a video session to a system server. Multiple servers can be accessed by one
user; each additional computer’s video will appear in a separate program window.
