Connecting multiple system drawers Multiple system drawers installed in a cabinet can share a single set of peripherals if a switch box, such as an autoswitcher, is installed. 1 The autoswitcher gives control of the monitor and routes the keyboard and mouse inputs to the currently selected system drawer. Installation of the autoswitcher is relatively simple and covered in detail in the autoswitcher user manual. Turn off all system drawers and devices in the cabinet before attaching any of the system drawer cables. 2 If the newly installed system drawer will control other drawers in the cabinet, connect the external data cables of the controller cards to the controlled devices. 22 Installation

Installation
Connecting multiple system drawers
Multiple system drawers installed in a cabinet can share a single set of
peripherals if a switch box, such as an autoswitcher, is installed.
1
The autoswitcher gives control of the monitor and routes the keyboard
and mouse inputs to the currently selected system drawer. Installation
of the autoswitcher is relatively simple and covered in detail in the
autoswitcher user manual. Turn off all system drawers and devices in the
cabinet before attaching any of the system drawer cables.
2
If the newly installed system drawer will control other drawers in the
cabinet, connect the external data cables of the controller cards to the
controlled devices.
