Welcome to the ServSelect
Family!
Thank you for purchasing a BLACK BOX
ServSelect product! We appreciate your
business, and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your new ServSelect will save
you money, time and effort.
That’s because the ServSelect family is all about breaking away from the traditional,
expensive model of computer management. You know, the one-size-fits-all-even-if-it-
doesn’t model that says, “One computer gets one user station, no more, no less.” Why not a
single user station (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) for multiple computers—even computers
of different platforms? Why not a pair of user stations, each of which can control multiple
computers? Why not multiple user stations for the same computer?
With our ServSelect products, there’s no reason why not. We carry a broad line of robust
solutions for all these applications. Do you have just two PCs, and need an economical
alternative to keeping two monitors, keyboards, and mice on your desk? Or do you need to
share dozens of computers, including a mix of IBM® PC, RS/6000®, Apple®
Macintosh®, Sun Microsystems®, and SGI™ compatibles among multiple users with
different access levels? Does your switch have to sit solidly on a work table and use
regular everyday cables? Or does it have to be mounted in an equipment rack and use
convenient many-to-one cables? No matter how large or small your setup is, no matter
how simple or how complex, we’re confident we have a ServSelect system that’s just right
for you.
The ServSelect
family from BLACK BOX—the one-stop answer for all your KVM
switching needs!
