Black Box SM964A 4U Gang Switch Controller Card
Overview
The Black Box SM964A is a 4U Gang Switch Controller Card designed for rack-mounted network switch management. This component is critical for organizing and controlling multiple network switches within a dense server rack environment, particularly in video surveillance deployments where reliable network infrastructure is paramount. Its black color ensures aesthetic integration into standard black server racks.
Compatibility
This controller card is engineered to interface with specific Black Box rack-mount switch chassis. It is designed to manage multiple network switch modules within the same physical enclosure, simplifying cabling and power distribution for up to four individual switch units. Consult the chassis documentation for exact model compatibility, but it is intended for use with Black Box's modular rack-switch systems.
Installation Notes
Installation requires opening the compatible Black Box switch chassis and seating the SM964A card into its designated slot. Ensure the chassis is powered down before installation. Proper grounding is essential to prevent electrostatic discharge. The card facilitates centralized management and power distribution for the installed switch modules.
