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.
Connecting the local port
Plug your VGA monitor, PS/2 or USB 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
10 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 the server. Repeat this procedure for all
servers that are to be connected to the DSR switch.

The following instructions will help you
to connect your DSR switch.
Should you require further assistance, please
consult your installer/user guide.
Connecting an external
modem (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 connector 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 SPC device to the
DSR switch (optional)
Plug one end of the cable supplied with the SPC
power control device into the SPC connector on the
DSR switch and plug the other end into the SPC
device. Plug the power cords from the target servers
into the SPC power outlets. Plug the SPC device
into an appropriate AC wall outlet.
Powering up targets and switch
Power up each target server and then power up the
DSR switch.
