The following instructions will help you
install your SwitchView SC380 switch.
Should you require further assistance,
please contact Avocent Technical Support.
1Connecting local peripherals
Turn off all servers you plan to use with
your SwitchView SC380 switching
system. Plug the DVI-I monitor cable
into the appropriate CONSOLE port on
the back of the switch. Plug the USB
keyboard cable, USB mouse cable and
USB CCID [Integrated Circuit(s) Cards
Interface Devices] Smart Card reader or
CAC reader into the appropriate ports.
Plug the speaker cable and microphone
cable into the appropriate ports.
NOTE: An applicable USB CCID driver
must be installed on the target server.
NOTE: Do not insert a Smart Card/
CAC into the reader until the switch is
fully configured and turned on.
2Connecting your servers
The SwitchView SC380 switching
system has eight ports labeled A-H on
the rear of the switch. Plug the USB
cable, the two audio cables (speaker
and microphone) and the DVI-I cable
(monitor) into the corresponding ports
on the server. Plug the other ends into
one of the server port sets on the switch.
Repeat for all servers.
NOTE: Cable sets without audio cables
are available if you do not require
speaker and microphone support.
3Turning on your system
Plug one end of the included power cord
into the IEC power connector on the
switch. Plug the other end of the power
cord into an AC wall outlet. Turn on all
attached servers.
4Switching your servers
Press the corresponding front panel
button, labeled A-H, to access servers in
your SwitchView switching system.
NOTE: This switch has tamper evident
seals. Broken or removed seals will void
the warranty.
LEDs
Each target port (A-H) has two LEDs on
the front panel. The green LED will light
when the target device is supplying USB
power to the switch. The amber LED will
blink for 12 seconds until all interfaces
have connected to the selected target
device and then remain on.
Supported Hardware
The SC380 switch supports most
DVI monitors and video cards, VGA
monitors and video cards (with
adaptors), speakers, microphones,
USB keyboards, USB mice, USB CCID
Smart Card readers or CAC readers.

Video Adaptors
The local port connectors and cable
connectors on the SC380 switch
are DVI-I. Analog monitors require an
adaptor to connect to the VGA port
(VAD-27). Monitors with digital-only
connectors can be plugged directly
into the DVI-I connector on the SC380
switch.
Target Video Connectors
All of the target video connectors
and cable connectors on the SC380
switch are DVI-I. Target servers with
analog connectors require an adaptor
to connect to the VGA port (VAD-
28). Target servers with digital only
connectors must use an adaptor to
match up with the DVI-D port (VAD-31).
Cables
Users can choose from single-head DVI-I
cables of varying lengths and select
whether or not to use audio (speakers
and microphone).
Contact an Avocent representative for
ordering details.
Rack Mounting the Switch
NOTE: Please refer to the separate safety
sheet for important information on safely
rack mounting your switch.
1. Remove two 8-32 x 1/4 in. truss
head screws from the side of the
switch and discard.
2. Place one rack mount bracket on
the side of the switch with the
flange facing the front of the switch.
Adjust the bracket forward or back
to align the mounting holes.
3. Secure the bracket with the 8-32
x 3/8 in. stainless steel screws
included with the rack mount
brackets.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the opposite
