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

switch 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.
