2.2 Mounting the LINDY CPU Switch
LINDY CPU 2 & 4 Switches LINDY CPU 4 OSD, 8 OSD & 16 OSD Switches
The LINDY CPU Switch has been
designed to be used either on a
desktop or mounted close to the
computer system boxes which it is
serving. If the LINDY CPU Switch is
mounted away from the desktop, you
may find the optional remote control
keypad/display unit a useful
accessory (not for use with 2 port
version)
The LINDY CPU Switch has been designed to be used
either on a desktop or mounted in a 19 inch rack. If the
LINDY CPU Switch is to be used on a desktop then you
will need to stick the supplied self-adhesive rubber feet
to the underside of the LINDY CPU Switch. If the LINDY
CPU Switch is to be mounted in a 19 inch rack then you
will need to fit the rack mounting brackets to the side of
the LINDY CPU Switch. Do this using the brackets and
screws provided.
2.3 Connecting your devices
Ensure that the power is disconnected from the LINDY CPU Switch and all devices which are to be
attached.

Connect the shared keyboard,
PS/2 mouse and monitor to
the connectors at the front of
the LINDY CPU Switch (see
Figures 1 and 2).
Connect the shared keyboard, PS/2 mouse and monitor to the
connectors at the rear of the LINDY CPU Switch (see Figures
3, 4 and 6). You may connect your keyboard monitor and
mouse to control port A or B. If you are connecting two sets of
keyboards, monitors and mice then you do not need to use the
same brands or mix of devices on each control port. For
example, you may wish to use a two button PS/2 mouse on one
port and a Microsoft ® IntelliMouse on the other.
Next connect each computer system unit in turn with the keyboard cable, mouse cable and video
cable. Any unused computer connections can be left unconnected. To connect computers with
serial mouse connections and AT style keyboard connections use the adapters supplied in the
cabling pack as shown below. Alternatively, if you have chosen not to purchase the cable pack,
refer to Appendix B for cable specifications.
