Sun Microsystems UKT-KVM-2U16-Z - Manual (Page 14)

8 – Cascading switches
The number of servers administered from the one Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse
Console can be expanded to a maximum of 256 by cascading KVMs.
Each port of the first or Master KVM can support a Slave KVM through a cascade
cable. This effectively connects up to 8 or 16 servers – depending on Slave KVM
connected - to the one port on the Master KVM. All of the Master KVM’s ports may
be used in this way, yielding a maximum of 256 servers controlled by the one
Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse Console using 16 port KMVs.

To connect a Slave KVM to the Master KVM, the above cable connects to the first
available CPU port of the Master KVM and to the “KVM-1” port of the Slave
KVM.
The Master KVM will need changes made to the set up, please refer to the
accompanying User Manual for the details.
