FCC and IC RFI Statements  
Federal Communications Commission and Industry Canada Radio Frequency Interference  
Statements  
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict  
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It has been tested and found to  
comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules,  
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial  
environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user at his own  
expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference.  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to  
operate the equipment.  
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio  
Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.  
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques

Chapter 3: Installation  
3. Installation  
3.1 Installation Steps  
1. Connect the ServSwitch CX or CX Uno to the RJ-45 port on the server access module (SAM).  
2. Connect the remaining connectors to a compatible target computer.  
3.2 Typical Applications  
3.2.1 KV0081A or KV0161A  
The SAMs work with the ServSwitch CX Uno, 8-Port (KV0081A), or ServSwitch CX Uno, 16-Port (KV0161A). They provide high-  
end, multiplatform KVM switching over CATx with remote access. Place the remote console up to 984.3 feet (300 m) away. The  
ServSwitch supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz (when used at distances less than 328 feet [100 m]), and reads DDC  
EDID from the display to avoid plug-and-play issues.

3.2.2 KV0424A-R2  
The SAMs also work with the ServSwitch CX, (1) Local Console Port + (4) Users, (24) Servers (KV0424A-R2). Up to four users can  
access and control 24 multiplatform servers via CATx cable. The switch can support up to 1920 x 1200 resolution and can switch  
via on-screen menus. This ServSwitch is ideal for small and mid-size data centers.

And, the SAMs work with the ServSwitch CX KVM Switch with IP, (1) Analog Console Port + (4) Users, (16)  
Servers (KV1416A-R2). Run this multiplatform switch over CATx cable and access servers over the Internet. Connect one remote  
user and up to three local users. IP support enables you to access servers remotely. This ServSwitch provides 1600 x 1200 remote  
resolution with scalable windows.
