Note: When you turn the unit On, it undergoes a Power On Self Test. If
there is a problem, Port LEDs 1 - 4 flash repeatedly according to a
pattern that indicates what the problem is. See see Power On Self
Test, page 31 for details.
6. Plug in the power cords and power On all the computers.
Note: You must turn on the power to the CS428 before turning on the
power to the computers.
Cascaded Installation
To control even more computers, up to eight additional Master View switches
can be cascaded from the KVM ports of the CS428. The cascaded Master
Views that connect back to the CS428 (referred to as the First Stage unit), are
considered Second Stage units. As many as 64 computers can be controlled in
a complete two stage installation. A table showing the relation between the
number of computers and the number of Master View units needed to control
them is provided on page 29 in the Appendix.
Note: 1. Only Master View CS-138A, CS-9138, CS-128A, or CS-124A
switches can be used with the CS428;
2. Switches cannot be cascaded beyond the second stage.
