THE SERVSWITCH ™ FAMILY
1
Welcome to the
ServSwitch™ Family!
Thank you for purchasing a BLACK BOX® ServSwitch™ Brand KVM-switch
accessory! We appreciate your business, and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways
that your ServSwitch keyboard/video/mouse switching system will save you money,
time, and effort.
That’s because our ServSwitch family is all about breaking away from the traditional,
expensive model of computer management. You know, the one-size fits-all-even-if-it-
doesn’t model that says, “One computer gets one user station, no more, no less.” Why
not a single user station (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) for multiple computers—even
computers of different platforms? Why not a pair of user stations, each of which can
control multiple computers? Why not multiple user stations for the same computer?
With our ServSwitch products, there’s no reason why not. We carry a broad line of
robust solutions for all these applications. Do you have just two PCs, and need an
economical alternative to keeping two monitors, keyboards, and mice on your desk? Or
do you need to share dozens of computers, including a mix of IBM® PC, RS/6000®,
Apple® Macintosh®, Sun Microsystems®, and SGI® compatibles among multiple users
with different access levels? Does your switch have to sit solidly on a worktable and use
regular everyday cables? Or does it have to be mounted in an equipment rack and use
convenient many-to-one cables? No matter how large or small your setup is, no matter
how simple or how complex, we’re confident we have a ServSwitch system that’s just
right for you.
The ServSwitch™ family from Black Box—the one-stop answer for all your KVM
switching needs!
