Thank your for choosing the Rose Electronics

ServeView Pro™
professional KVM switch. The ServeView Pro represents the latest
technology in single user, keyboard-monitor-mouse switching. The
ServeView Pro is the result of Rose Electronics commitment to providing

ServeView Pro has proven to be a valuable and dependable investment for
users that have the need to access multiple computer systems from a

Each model can support either PC/Unix or multi-platform (PC, Apple, Sun,

by simple keyboard commands, selecting the computer from the front
panel, or through the RS/232 port.
All ServeView Pro models can easily be expanded by chaining the units
together and configuring the system. Using 4 port units (“M”-chassis), you
can expand the system to 16 computers. The 8 port unit (“B”-chassis) can
