ServView II and ServView II Ultra
The ServView II and ServView II Ultra are rackmountable KVM trays that contain a keyboard, trackball, and the
thin-
film transistor (TFT) display of a flat-panel monitor. On the ServView II (KVT120 series models), this is a
15" (38.1-cm) SVGA monitor that displays video at 1024 x 768 resolution at 75 Hz. On the ServView II Ultra
(KVT130 series models), this is a 17" (43.2-cm) multisync monitor that displays video at a maximum resolution
and refresh rate of 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz. (In the rest of this document, we’ll use
“ServView II” to refer to both
the ServView II and the ServView II Ultra.) Most ServView II models also include an
8-port slimline version of one
of our ServSwitch™ brand KVM switches. There are ten models of the ServView II:
• The KVT122A and KVT130A are the basic tray that doesn’t include a ServSwitch.
• The KVT123A and KVT131A include an 8-port slimline regular ServSwitch (product code KV3108SA-R4).
• The KVT124A and KVT132A include an 8-port slimline PC-only Matrix ServSwitch™ (SW742A-R3).
• The KVT125A and KVT133A include an 8-port slimline ServSwitch™ Ultra (KV5008SA-R2).
• The KVT126A and KVT134A include an 8-port slimline multiplatform Matrix ServSwitch (SW762A-R3).
The ServView II has three cables attached to the back of the tray: One with an HD15 male video connector and
two with 6-pin mini-DIN male connectors (one for keyboard data and one for mouse data; the connector of the
keyboard cable will have a black rubber shroud on it). With the KVT122A and KVT130A, these cables can be
plugged directly
into the matching ports of a computer CPU. With the other ServView II models, these cables can
be plugged into
the matching connectors on one end of an included three-to-one User Cable. This cable has a
single DB25 male connector at the other end that’s designed to be plugged into one of the user ports on the
included ServSwitch.

SERVVIEW II AND SERVVIEW II ULTRA

To mount the ServView II in a 19" rack, take these steps:
1. Mount your CPU(s) in the rack where your ServView II will be installed.
2. Remove the backing plate that’s attached to the rear of the ServView II by a pair of screws.
3. Unscrew the retention screws that hold the KVM tray shut against the front of the ServView II.
CAUTION!
We recommend that two people work to ether to perform step 4.
4. Tilt the ServView II far enough sideways to get past the Cabinet’s rails, then maneuver it through the Cabinet
until its front and rear “mounting ears” are even with the Cabinet’s front and rear rails. Straighten the
ServView II back to level so that its front ears are flush against the front of the Cabinet’s front rails and its rear
ears are flush against the back of the Cabinet’s rear rails. Align the upper and lower holes in the mounting
ears (two in each ear—eight all together—not including the middle hole in the front ears that’s designed for
the retention screws) with an appropriate set of holes in the Cabinet’s rails, then secure the ServView II to the
rails using the included screws.
5. Find the three cables that come out of the back of the ServView II tray. Attach the connectors of these cables
to the matching connectors on your computer CPU or (if your ServView II includes an integrated ServSwitch)
on the included User Cable that you’ll then plug into one of the ServSwitch’s user ports.
6. Models with an integrated ServSwitch only: Plug the User Cable into one of the ServSwitch’s user ports. Follow the
directions in the ServSwitch manual for attaching CPUs to the switch. Run the included power cord from the
ServSwitch’s power inlet to a working AC outlet.
7. Plug in and power up the CPU(s) attached to your ServView II.
8. Run the included power cord from the ServView II’s power inlet to a working AC outlet. Turn on the
ServView II. Refer to the manuals for the ServView II’s components for information about configuring and
operating them.
9.
If any CPU’s video doesn’t seem to display properly: Temporarily attach a standard monitor to that CPU in order to
install the driver for the ServView II’s TFT (refer to the TFT’s documentation for instructions).

At the time of this writing, your complete ServView II package should include:
• The main tray assembly. This measures 1.75"H (1U) x 19"W x 30.25"D (4.4 x 48.3 x 76.8 cm); when it’s opened
for use, it can be extended to a maximum depth of 51" (129.5 cm).
• A User Cable.
• An AC power-input cord for the ServView II’s TFT. All models that have integrated ServSwitches will also
include an AC power-input cord for the switch.
• A 3.5" diskette with monitor-installation software on it.
• A hardcopy manual for the monitor from which the ServView II’s TFT is derived. Ignore the sections of this
manual that describe what comes with the monitor and how to install the monitor—these don’t apply to the
ServView II.
• A hardcopy manual for the ServView II’s keyboard and trackball.
• For the ServView II models that have integrated ServSwitches, a hardcopy manual for that type of ServSwitch.
(Only the specifications, descriptions, and instructions for the ServSwitch product code listed for your
ServView II model on the front of this sheet will apply.)
• Various warranty cards, information sheets, and other documentation. As new versions of Windows are released,
addenda for the software manuals might be included that describe how to install the software for those OSes.
•Ten
10⁄32" rackmounting screws and cage nuts (eight are required for assembly, two are extra).

The components that come with your ServView II mi ht vary and are subject to chan e
