think about putting in a ServSwitch Affinity daisychain
made up of 4-user expansion chassis (like the fully loaded
one shown at right) or 8- or 16-user chassis. They come empty
(no cards installed), but you can install 1 expansion card (or 2
in the 16-user units) and add as many as 4 Port Cards (0 x 4
or 1 x 4) to them, giving you a maximum of 4, 8, or 16 user
stations and 16 CPUs attached to each unit.
is designed for, only that many video paths can be open
through that unit at a time. For example, a 4-user unit only
has four video paths. If there are already four operators
attached to it, and an operator at another ServSwitch Affinity
selects one of the 4-user unit’s CPUs, one of the 4-user unit’s
operators—and all other operators on that slot—will be
locked out until the new connection ends.)
they accept only 8-User Expansion Cards like the one shown
below. The 16-user units accept two of the 8-User Expansion
Cards. The 8-User Expansion Cards have jumper blocks that

If all of your users are on one chassis, use the regular bus

If you have two users on one chassis and two on another,
use the “split bus” topology (above, middle).
