To connect a DSR switch
Connecting power to the DSR switch
Turn off 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.
Connecting the local port
Plug your VGA monitor, PS/2 keyboard and
mouse cables into the appropriately labeled
DSR ports.
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 50 meters) into a numbered port
and plug the other end into the RJ-45 connector
of a DSRIQ module.
Connecting a server to the
DSRIQ module
Plug the DSRIQ module into the
appropriate ports on the back of a
server. Repeat this procedure for all
servers that are to be connected to the
DSR switch.

(optional)
The DSR switch may also be accessed
using an ITU V.92, V.90 or V.34-compatible
modem. Plug one end of a 9-pin serial
cable into the MODEM connector on the
back of your DSR switch. Plug the other
end into the appropriate port on the back of
the modem.
NOTE: Using a modem connection instead
of a LAN connection will limit the
performance capability of your DSR switch.
Connecting the PM IPDU to the
DSR switch (optional)
Plug one end of the RJ-45 cable supplied
with the PM Intelligent Power Distribution Unit
(IPDU) into the SPC connector on the DSR
switch. Using the supplied RJ-45 adaptor,
plug the other end of the cable into the PM
IPDU. Plug the power cords from the target
devices into the PM IPDU. Plug the PM IPDU
into an appropriate AC wall outlet.
Turning on targets and the switch
