The following instructions will help you
to connect your DSR switch.
Should you require further assistance, please
consult your installer/user guide.
1
Connecting power to the
DSR switch
Power down all servers that will be part of your DSR
switching system. Locate the power cord that came
with the DSR switch. Plug one end into the power
socket on the rear of the DSR switch. Plug the other
end into an appropriate AC wall outlet.
2
Connecting the local port
Plug your VGA monitor, PS/2 or USB keyboard and
mouse cables into the appropriately labeled DSR ports.
3
Connecting a DSRIQ module to
the DSR switch
Choose an available port on the rear of your DSR
switch. Plug one end of a CAT 5 cable (4-pair, up to
10 meters) into a numbered port and plug the other
end into the RJ-45 connector of a DSRIQ module.
4
Connecting a server to the
DSRIQ module
Plug the DSRIQ module into the appropriate ports on
the back of the server. Repeat this procedure for all
servers that are to be connected to the DSR switch.
5
Connecting network and
remote users
Plug a CAT 5 cable from your Ethernet network into
the LAN connector on the back of your DSR switch.
Network users will access the DSR switch through
this port.
