INSTALLATION

Pre-Configuration
Consider the following when deciding where to place the
Rack-Mount Console with Built-In PRO3 KVM Switch:
• the location of your servers in relatio
• the lengths of the cables you use to connect your servers to the
Rack-Mount Console
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 Rack-Mount
Console and the connected servers does not exceed 25 feet (7.6m).
n to your console
3
For USB Servers:
USB signals can be transmitted up to 15 feet (4.5m) between the RackMount Console and server. Beyond that length, the probabilit y of USBsignal failure is likely, and may cause the device to fail.
Note: The Belkin OmniView CAT5 Extender, F1D084 (PS/2) and F1D086U
(USB), may be used to extend your console (keyboard, mouse, and
monitor) by up to 300 feet (91m).
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 Rack-Mount Console 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 Rack-Mount Console. Belkin
damage caused in this way.
