Two Stage Installation - Tripp-Lite B007-008 Manuel D'utilisation

Two-Stage Installation
Additional B007-008 KVMs can be connected to the CPU ports of the First Stage KVM
to control more CPUs. These cascaded KVMs are considered Second Stage units. As
many as 64 PCs can be controlled in a complete two-stage installation. A table showing
the relationship between the number of PCs and the number of KVMs needed to control
them is provided in the Appendix.
To set up a two-stage installation, do the following:
1. All KVM Switches and PCs must be turned off – including preexisting devices on the
installation.
2. Use a cable kit (see Hardware Requirements section) to connect the Console Port
connectors of the Second Stage KVM unit to any available CPU Port on the First
Stage unit.
3. Use connector cable sets (see Hardware Requirements section) to connect the
monitor, keyboard and mouse ports of the PCs to any available CPU Port on the
Second Stage unit
4. Plug the power adapter into the Power Jack on the second stage KVM and then plug
the adapter into an AC power source.
5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 for any other Second Stage units you wish to connect.
6. Plug in the power adapter for the First Stage KVM Switch unit and then plug the
adapter into an AC power source.
7. Connect any other CPUs to the remaining ports on the First Stage unit.
8. Turn on the power to all the connected PCs.
Note: The Power On sequence requires that all Second Stage units be powered on first
(AC Adapter connected). After all the Second Stage units have been powered on, then the
First Stage unit must be powered on next (AC Adapter connected). After the Second and
First stage units have been powered on, the computers can be powered on.
