3. 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, in order to avoid any damage
to property or injury to users; please read the following carefully.
Make sure that the power of the PC is OFF before connecting or disconnecting any of the
connectors. Also, be sure to discharge any static electricity. Connecting or disconnecting the
connectors while carrying a static charge or while the power of the PC is ON may damage the
PC or this device. Please note that, damage of this kind is not covered by the warranty.
Only PC’s equipped with the following type of keyboard, mouse and monitor connectors can
be hooked up to this device. Other specifications are not supported.
- Keyboard connector: Mini DIN 6P female (PS/2) x 1
- Mouse connector: Mini DIN 6P female (PS/2) x 1
- Monitor connector: Mini D-SUB 15P female (VGA) x 1
Connecting the PC requires optional dedicated cables (PS/2). There are two options: 3m and
5m. Use a 1.8m dedicated PS/2 cable for cascaded connections. Cables longer than that are
not covered by the warranty.
Special kinds of keyboards/mice (including programmable, wireless or those that require a
specific driver), which are not supported, will not operate. Use appropriate equipment.
The keyboard/mouse connector for this switch device is exclusively for PS/2 (Mini DIN 6P
female). Serial mouse or USB type keyboard/mouse connection is not possible.
Depending on the type of mouse (multi-functional mouse with wheel, etc.) or support software,
the device may not operate normally.
The keyboard/mouse connectors are the same shape. Check the colors and the orientation to
connect them correctly. If they are forced in or connected incorrectly, the switch device may
not function, and may be damaged as well.
Set up the keyboard, mouse and monitor on each PC correctly. If they are not set correctly,
they will not operate normally.
A DVI (Digital Video Interface) compatible display cannot be connected.
The display on the monitor connected to this device supports multi-scan, therefore check that it
is also working correctly when connected directly to PC. The resolution that this device
supports is 1600 x 1200 with a refresh rate up to 75 Hz. Also, the display may be off center
after switching, due to monitor and resolution settings. Set the monitor or video card if
necessary.
Depending on the combination of monitor and video card, the screen display may show some
degradation in quality (ghosts or blurring, etc.) or abnormality. This may be due to the monitor
cable, the monitor or the video card, so try changing the monitor or the video card.
The monitor cable connector is Mini D-SUB 15P. Make sure you connect it in the correct
orientation, and use the fixing screw to fix it in place. If it is not connected properly, it may
cause trouble.
Cascading can only be performed with Fujitsu KVM switches only. You cannot cascade with
switches produced by other manufacturers.
The maximum number of levels of cascaded connections is two. More than two levels cannot
be connected. Also, for a cascaded connection, make sure to connect a dedicated AC adapter
to the master side.

4. Characteristics
4 PC’s can be operated with only one keyboard/monitor/mouse. A lot of space can be saved.
Switching is always stable, even at simultaneous PC boot-up.
5 or more PC’s can be connected by using a cascaded connection. A maximum of 16 PC’s
can be connected.
*In this case, additional device(s) and connection cable(s)/dedicated AC adapter(s) (sold
separately) are necessary, depending on the number of PC’s.
A cascaded connection can be used with FS-1000 series, so your assets can be utilized
effectively.
*When this device is used as a master, some functions will be limited; for example, the OSD
display is disabled.
Switching can be done simply with the select button or keyboard. In addition, for keyboard
switching, there are three kinds of Hot Keys to ensure flexibility.
*The three Hot Keys are Ctrl+Alt+Shift, Ctrl x 2 and Scroll Lock x 2.
All ports can be used for Plug-n-Play (PnP) monitors.
The setting data (VESA DDC2/EDID) of the monitor can be saved in all ports; therefore, the
PnP function of the monitor will become effective at simultaneous PC boot-up.
*The PnP function needs to be supported by the monitor and the PC.
PS/2 mice are supported.
PS/2 keyboards such as Microsoft and Logicool are supported.
The following PS/2 mice are supported: 2/3 button mice, all types of wheel mice (Microsoft
IntelliMouse, Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer, Logitech/Logicool MouseMan Wheel+, etc.)
and Fujitsu FID677 (Multi-scroll mouse).
*Special kinds of mice, which need dedicated drivers, are not supported.
PS/2 keyboards are supported.
*Special kinds of keyboards, which need dedicated drivers, are not supported.
Auto Scan mode is installed for automatic switching, which is useful for PC monitoring. Also,
the switching interval can be set (six levels from 3 to 60 seconds).
For single use, an AC adapter is not necessary, because the device can be activated with the
keyboard power of the PC.
If the power capacity of the PC is not enough, a separate AC adapter can be used (available
separately).
*For a cascaded connection, one AC adapter is necessary at the master side.
With an optional rack mount panel, 2 devices can be stored in 19-inch 1U space.
This device can be connected to all PC/AT compatibles where PS/2 keyboard/mouse for
PC/AT can be used.
*Note that special kinds of OS's or keyboards/mice are not supported.
