Connecting 3 2161DS together

I want to connect 2161DS switches together so we can see each server from each monitor.  How do I do this?  Do I need to use a crossover cable?  I have the latest firmware on the 2161DS.

Thanks.

The 2161DS only supports one channel in to any one server, and it only supports one level of tiering.  The end result is that you won't be able to share that signal if want to see a server over multiple monitors.

You can however see all the servers (from all switches) within the remote console.

That is correct.  You can see all servers from all switches from a single remote console, and if there is a master switch above all the other switches, you can see all the servers from a local console attached to that master switch.  You just cannot see a single server on mulitple monitors.
