FCC and IC RFI Statements/NOM Statement
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION AND
INDUSTRY CANADA RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication.
It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions
For reliable and safe long-term operation of your ServSwitch DKM FX, follow these guidelines:
Installation
•Only use in dry, indoor environments.
•The ServSwitch DKM FX and the power supply units can get warm. Don’t put them in an enclosed space without any airflow.
•Do not obscure ventilation holes.
•Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or manufacturerapproved replacements. Do not use a power supply if it appears to be defective or has a damaged case.
•Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each case, make sure that the ground connection is maintained from the outlet socket to the power supply’s AC power input.
•Do not connect the link interface to any other equipment, particularly network or telecommunications equipment.
•Take any required ESD precautions.
Repair
•Do not attempt to open or repair a power supply unit.
•Do not attempt to open or repair the ServSwitch DKM FX. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
•Contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 or info@blackbox.com if there is a fault.

Chapter 1: Specifications
1. Specifications
1.1 Interfaces
1.1.1 DVI-D Single Link
The video interface supports the DVI-D protocol. All signals that comply with DVI-D single-link standard can be transmitted. This includes, for example, monitor resolutions such as 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz, Full HD (1080p), or 2K HD (up to 2048 x 1152). Data rate is limited to 165 MPixel/s.
1.1.2 USB HID
Devices with USB HID interface support a maximum of two devices with
USB HID protocol. Each USB HID port provides a maximum current of 100 mA.
Keyboard
Compatible with most USB keyboards. Certain keyboards with additional functions may require custom firmware to operate. Keyboards with an integral USB Hub (Mac® keyboards, for example) are also supported.
Mouse
Compatible with most 2-button, 3-button, and scroll mice.
Other USB HID devices
The proprietary USB emulation also supports certain other USB HID devices, such as specific touchscreens, graphics tablets, bar-code scanners, or special keyboards. Support cannot be guaranteed, however, for every USB HID device.
NOTE: Only two USB HID devices are supported concurrently, such as keyboard and mouse or keyboard and touchscreen. A hub is allowed, but it does not increase the number of HID devices allowed.
To support other USB “non-HID” devices, such as scanners, Web cams or memory devices, choose our devices with transparent USB support.
1.1.3 RJ-45 (Network)
CATx device communication requires a 1000BASE-T connection. Pin the cable according to EIA/TIA-568-B (1000BASE-T) standard with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. All four wire pairs are used in both directions. The cabling is suitable for full-duplex operation. For the cable connection to a source (computer, CPU), use a cross-pinned network cable.
Page 10 |
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com |
Chapter 1: Specifications
1.1.4 RS-232 (Serial)
The communication takes place with a transmission speed of up to 115.2 kbps, regardless of the file format. The transmission takes place with eight data bits and a stop bit, but without a parity bit. Limited hardware handshake (DSR) is possible.
1.1.5 RJ-45 (Interconnect)
CATx device communication requires a 1000BASE-T connection.
Connector wiring must comply with EIA/TIA-568-B (1000BASE-T), with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. All four wire pairs are used.
1.1.6 Fiber SFP Type LC (Interconnect)
Fiber device communication is performed via Gigabit SFPs connected to suitable fibers fitted with LC connectors (see Section 1.2.2).
NOTE: The correct function of the device can only be guaranteed with SFPs provided by Black Box.
CAUTION: SFP modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Follow ESD handling precautions.
1.1.7 SDI (Interconnect)
SDI device communication requires a mini coax connection with mini BNC connectors or 3G SFPs with transmission speeds of 0.360 Gbps (SD-SDI, SMPTE 259M), 1.485 Gbps (HD-SDI, SMPTE 292M), and 2.70 Gbps (3G SDI).
1.2 Interconnect Cable 1.2.1 CATx
NOTE: A point-to-point connection is required. Operation with several patch fields is possible. Routing over an active network component, such as an Ethernet hub, router, or ServSwitch DKM FX, is not allowed.
•Avoid routing CATx cables along power cables.
•If the site has three-phase AC power, make sure that the CPU Unit and
CON Unit are on the same phase.
NOTE: To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, use correctly installed shielded CATx cable throughout the interconnection link.
NOTE: To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, all CATx cables need to carry ferrites on both cable ends close to the device.
Type of Interconnect Cable
The ServSwitch DKM FX requires interconnect cabling specified for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). Use solid-core (24 AWG), shielded, CAT5e (or better) cable.

2. Overview
2.1 Description
2.1.1 Application
The ServSwitch DKM FX is used to establish connections from consoles (monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral devices) to various sources (computer, CPU).
In a maximum configuration, up to 288 independent ports can be defined and switched either as a console or a CPU.
The ServSwitch DKM FX is mainly specified for the use with extenders that are able to transmit video, KVM, and USB 2.0 signals. You can also use it as a video matrix.
For the connection between the ServSwitch DKM FX and the peripheral devices, such as KVM extenders or video sources, you can use CATx, fiber, or coaxial cables.
The ServSwitch DKM FX serves as a repeater. You can place it up to 6.2 miles (10 km) from the consoles and 6.2 miles (10 km) from the sources.
2.1.2 Access Options
You have the following options to access the ServSwitch DKM FX for configuration and operation:

Chapter 2: Overview
2.2 System Overview
A ServSwitch DKM FX system consists of a ServSwitch DKM FX and, for KVM applications, one or more CPU units/CON units. The ServSwitch DKM FX is connected to the CPU units/CON units by interconnect cables or is connected directly to the video devices when used as a video matrix.
The CPU units connect directly to the sources (computer, CPU), using the included cables.
Monitor(s), keyboard, and mouse connect to the CON units.
The ServSwitch DKM FX and the CPU units/CON units communicate over CATx, fiber, or coaxial interconnect cables.
Figure 2-1 shows the system overview. Table 2-2 describes its components.
