Safety Instructions

Read the “Safety Instructions” before use to ensure proper use of this product. Safety

Instructions contained in this section are written for the user to avoid any damage to property or self-injury. Please read the following carefully:

● Verify that the power to the server is off before handling any connectors. Also, be sure to discharge any static electricity. Connecting or disconnecting the connectors while carrying a static charge or while the power to the server is on may damage the server or this device. Note that damage of this kind is not covered by the warranty.

● Only PC/AT compatible servers can be hooked up to this device, and each server must be equipped with the following type of keyboard, mouse and monitor connectors. Other types are not supported. Additionally, a PS/2 keyboard and mouse can not be connected at the same time as a Sun keyboard.

Compatible PC/AT connectors:

- Mini DIN 6P female (1 each for PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse)

- USB A-type connector

- Mini D-SUB 15P female (monitor)

● Connecting the server requires special optional cables (for PS/2, and 1.8 m, 3 m and 5 m USB cables). The maximum cable length is 5 meters. Use a 1.8 meter cable for cascaded connections. Please note that cables longer than specified are not covered by the warranty.

● Use of standard equipment is recommended because special keyboards (programmable, wireless) and mice (wireless or that require a special driver) may not be supported/operate

● The keyboard connector for this switch device is a PS/2 type (Mini DIN 6P female), but you can connect an AT-type (DIN 5P male) keyboard by using a PS/2 <-> AT adapter. A USB type keyboard may not be used as the console keyboard.

● The mouse connector for the switch device is exclusively for PS/2 connection (Mini DIN 6P female). A serial or USB-type mouse may not be used as the console mouse.

● When using a mouse with a scroll function such as a mouse with PS/2 wheel, scrolling outside of the support sometimes does not function properly. Also, the scroll mice may fail to function properly depending on the software used.

● The keyboard and mouse connectors are the same shape. Be sure the colors match to connect them correctly. If they are forced in or connected incorrectly, the switch device may not only function improperly but also may malfunction.

● Set up the console’s keyboard and mouse with each server correctly. If they are not set correctly they will not operate normally.

● Hook up the cables for each port to the same server. If the monitor, keyboard, and mouse port numbers are wrong, you will not be able to select the server correctly.

● A DVI (Digital Video Interface) compatible display can not be connected.

● When connecting a monitor other than the one for Console Drawer, use one that is

multi-scan compatible, and set the correct resolution. KVM Switch supports a resolution of 1600 x 1200 with a refresh rate of 75 Hz. Also, the display may be off center after switching depending on the monitor and resolution settings. Adjust the monitor or video card if this happens.

● Degradations in high resolution screen quality, such as ghosts or blurring, may be due to the monitor cable or video card. Also, the screen may not display normally sometimes, depending on the particular combination of display and video card. Try changing the settings of the environment in which the video card, for example, is connected.

● The monitor cable connector is a Mini D-SUB 15P type. Make sure you connect it in the correct orientation and use the fixing screws to hold it in place. It may cause trouble if it is not connected properly.

● Cascaded connections must be setup exclusively with our KVM switches only. You can not make these connections with switches produced by other manufacturers.

● A maximum of two levels of cascaded connections are allowed (including the ma ster). Attempting to cascade three or more levels will not work.

Disposal

This device is manufactured with metal and plastic parts. Dispose of it according the relevant government regulations.

Moving Console Drawer

When moving the Console Drawer to a different location, use

CAUTIO

the box in which it was purchased or a box that protects the product from bumping and shaking. Do not unpack the Console Drawer until the move has been completed.

Installation

Please note the safety information in [Important Notices].

CAUTIO

Installing the Guide Rails (when using a tapped guide rail)

* These guide rails are optional.

Install the guide rails with the guides toward the front so that the Console

Drawer can be mounted on them. When using a tapped guide rail, install them on the inside of the rack supports. A screw holder may be required depending on the guide rail specifications. See the installation drawing using tapped guide rails on page 9.

1. Adjust the length of the guide rails on the inner side of the rack supports. Place the

screw gaskets in the holes on the rack, and then fix the screws in the upper and lower holes on the guide rails. (Set the left and right guide rails at the same height.)

● For details on installing other guide rails, refer to their respective user’s manual.

Maintain the area around the equipment when using the Console Drawer (See [Technical Specifications] for more information). Avoid dust, humidity and extreme temperatures. Installation may re-quire more than two people in some situations. Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands between the guide rails and the Console Drawer.
