25 Installing a PS/2 or USB Interface Adapter In This Section Overview ...25 Configuring the Interface Adapter 25 Overview An Interface Adapter is required for the HP IP Console Switch system to function properly. However, it is not included in the HP IP Console Switch kit. An Interface Adapter connects UTP CAT5 cables to PS/2 or USB connections, establishing a KVM session to a server. NOTE: UTP CAT5 cables are used throughout the examples in this guide. However, UTP CAT6 and UTP CAT7 cables may also be used. Configuring the Interface Adapter 1. Connect a UTP CAT5 cable to the server connection port ("Components" on page 7) on the HP IP Console Switch. 2. Connect the other end of that same UTP CAT5 cable to the RJ-45 port on the Interface Adapter. 3. Connect the Interface Adapter to the appropriate ports on the server. 4. Repeat the preceding steps to connect any other servers to this system. The following figure shows one possible configuration for the HP IP Console Switch system with an Interface Adapter.
