Feature Overview
Dual-User
Simultaneously supports up to two users.
Hot Keys
Hot-key functionality allows you to select a desired port using designated key
commands. By using a simple hot-key sequence on your keyboard, you can
select one server from as many as 256 servers, instantaneously.
AutoScan
The AutoScan feature allows you to set your PRO3 Dual-User KVM Switch to
scan and monitor the activities of all connected servers, one by one. The time
interval allotted for each server can be adjusted through the On-Screen Display
(OSD) menu.
Video Resolution
The PRO3 KVM Switch supports video resolutions of up to 1920x1440.
Security
Allows you to specify user names and passwords to prevent unauthorized users
from accessing the OSD and KVM Switch.
Dedicated Daisy-Chain Port
Up to 16 KVM switches can be daisy-chained together using dedicated
ports, so you can easily expand your KVM configuration as your server
environment grows.
On-Screen Display (OSD)
The OSD feature simplifies server management by allowing you to assign
individual names to each connected server throughout the system. It provides a
visual means of switching between servers and assigning the hot-key scheme.
The OSD can also be set up to support regional languages.
LED Display
An LED display on the front panel of the PRO3 KVM Switch serves as a status
monitor. An LED illuminates to indicate that the console currently controls the
corresponding server.
Flash Upgrade
Flash-upgradeable firmware allows you to install the latest firmware on your
PRO3 KVM Switch. This enables your KVM Switch to maintain consistent
compatibility with the latest devices and servers. Firmware upgrades are free for
the life of your PRO3 KVM itch and can be downloaded from Belkin’s support
website at www.belkin.com/support.

Installation
Pre-Configuration
Where to Place the PRO3 KVM Switch
The enclosure of the PRO3 KVM Switch is designed for stand-alone or
rack-mount configuration. The 8- and 16-Port PRO3 KVM Switches are natively
rack-mountable in standard, 19-inch server racks. Rack-mount hardware is
included with these Switches for a sturdy rack installation.
Consider the following when deciding where to place
the PRO3 KVM Switch:
• whether or not you intend to use the direct-access port selectors
• the lengths of the cables attached to your keyboard, monitor, and mouse
• the location of your servers in relation to your console
• the lengths of the cables you use to connect your servers to the
PRO3 KVM Switch
Cable-Distance Requirements
For PS/2 Servers:
VGA signals transmit best up to 25 feet (7.6m). Beyond that length, the
probability of video degradation increases. For this reason, Belkin recommends
that the length of the cables between the PRO3 KVM Switch and the connected
servers does not exceed 25 feet (7.6m).
For USB Servers:
USB signals can be transmitted up to 15 feet (4.5m) between the PRO3 KVM
Switch and server. Beyond that length, the probability of USB-signal failure is
likely, and may cause the device to fail.
Note: The Belkin OmniView CAT5 Extender (F1D084vea2: PS/2 connection,
F1D086Uea: USB connection) may be used to extend your console (keyboard,
mouse, and monitor) by up to 300 feet (91m).
section
Cautions and Warnings!
Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning equipment, or
machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).
Before attempting to connect anything to the PRO3 KVM Switch or your
servers, ensure that everything is powered off. Plugging and unplugging cables
while servers are powered on may cause irreversible damage of the servers
and/or the PRO3 KVM Switches. Belkin is not responsible for damage caused
in this way.
You are now ready to begin installation of your PRO3 KVM Switch. The
following sections (pages 8-14) provide complete instructions for the
hardware setup of a single PRO3 KVM Switch (F1DA208Zea, F1DA216Zea).

Installation
Mounting the PRO3 KVM Switch
Bracket Installation
Eight- and 16-Port PRO3 KVM Switches include adjustable mounting brackets
ideal for installation in 19-inch racks. The mounting brackets feature three

the ends of the rails or to extend the PRO3 KVM Switch past the front of the
rails. Please follow these simple steps to achieve the desired adjustment.
Step 1
Determine how far you would like the PRO3 KVM Switch to protrude from the
rack. Select a bracket-hole scheme.
Step 2
Attach the bracket to the side of your PRO3 KVM Switch using the Phillips
screws provided. (Refer to diagram below.)
