1. Preface

FUJITSU COMPONENT would like to thank you for your purchase of a 4 Port KVM Switch, an 8 Port KVM Switch, or a 16 Port KVM Switch (hereinafter referred to as a "KVM Switch" or "this device"). Using this device enables multiple servers to be operated from a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse, greatly reducing your workspace area. In addition, if this device is used in a cascade connection, up to 256 servers can be operated by using 17 KVM Switches (16 port type). This manual explains basic operation of KVM Switches. Before using this device, make sure to carefully read the contents of this manual to ensure that this device is used correctly. After reading, store this manual in a safe place for easy reference when using this device.

4. Important Notices

Chapters 5 and 6 contain cautions that must be taken when operating a KVM Switch and information related to safety. Carefully read these chapters to use a KVM Switch correctly.

5. Safety

Safety Precautions

Caution

This device adheres to the safety regulations related to information processing equipment such as electronic office machines that are used in an office environment. If you have any questions please contact your FUJITSU COMPONENT sales representative.

● To prevent extreme bumping or shaking when moving a KVM Switch, use the original shipping container or a box similar to it.

● During installation and before using a KVM Switch, carefully read [9. Installation] and the section about environmental conditions in [12.Specifications] to use the KVM Switch correctly.

● Take power from a power outlet that constantly provides power without being interrupted by switches.

● Moving a KVM Switch from a cold environment to the installation location may cause condensation to occur. Before using a KVM Switch, allow it to dry out completely and to reach the ambient temperature of the installation location.

● Lay cables in an area where they will not become damaged. Refer to the relevant sections in [10. Cable connection and removal] when plugging or unplugging the cables.

● Do not connect or remove cables during thunderstorms.

● Do not allow foreign substances (such as necklaces and clips) or liquids inside KVM Switches.

● In an emergency (device or parts failure: damage caused by liquid or foreign objects in the KVM

Switch), remove all cables from the KVM Switch as soon as possible and contact your FUJITSU COMPONENT sales representative.

● Only licensed engineers can repair a KVM Switch. Any unlicensed user that opens a KVM Switch and makes incorrect repairs may cause electric shock or fire.

● Always hold the connector portion and do not jerk the cables when removing them.

● Avoid operating a KVM Switch or unplugging connectors with wet hands.

● Do not place any unnecessary items (such as a cup) on top of a KVM Switch.

● Only licensed personal can uncouple, remove, or replace parts (such as electro-magnetic wave

devices) which bear a warning mark (such as a lightning bolt).

● To prevent interference, it is necessary to adequately isolate the data cables that are connected to peripheral equipment.

● Keep this manual with the KVM Switch. If you give the KVM Switch to a third party, also give them this manual.

6. Note When Using a Cascade Connection

● Using a cascade connection with previous KVM Switch models

For cascade connections with previous KVM Switch models, even though a cascade connection is possible by using the previous KVM Switch model as the master or slave side, restrictions may apply to functions with some models.

7. Features

● Using a KVM Switch enables multiple PC servers to be operated by eliminating the need for multiple consoles (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) and making the use of multiple PC servers possible from a single console, greatly reducing the workspace area.

● The maximum number of servers that can be selected for KVM Switches is four for the 4 port type, eight for the 8 port type, and 16 for the 16 port type.

● The number of connectable servers can be increased by using a cascade connection.

Example: 256 servers can be connected with 17 KVM Switches (16 port type).

● WUXGA (1920×1200) and a refresh rate of 60Hz is supported for the resolution of the monitor.

● Servers can be easily selected by using the keyboard and mouse (Hotkey mode).

● In the Hotkey mode, the server can be changed on the On Screen Display (hereinafter referred to

as OSD) as the screen is being watched.

● For the OSD, hot keys can be input from the keyboard and mouse. Selection and settings can be performed by using three types of hot keys (<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Shift>, <Ctrl> x2, <Scroll Lock> x2) or by clicking the central button of the mouse with a wheel button.

● AutoScan is performed by the front switch or by the keyboard.

● Because AutoScan automatically changes running servers, the status of each server can be

monitored at a constant cycle. In addition, six levels can be set for the frequency of changing.

●A PC that has a USB port or a PS/2 port for keyboard and mouse interfaces can be connected to servers by using dedicated server/PC connection cables (refer to the items in the optional products section of [12.Specifications]).

● The FS-11XXMU supports ORACLE (SUN) servers.

(2) [ServerSelection] switch

Pushing the [ServerSelection] switch selects a server. Ports can also be selected when

the power status of the server is OFF.

(3) [AutoScan] switch

Pressing the [AutoScan] switch starts the AutoScan mode. In the AutoScan mode, the

screen of servers with ports for which the power is ON can be changed automatically in order.

Refer to "11-2-5. AutoScan Mode" for more details.

(4) [RESET] switch

This switch is not used for normal operations. Use the [RESET] switch when servers

cannot be selected or input errors occur with the mouse and keyboard by pressing the [RESET] switch lightly with the tip of a pen or similar object.

Pressing the [RESET] switch resets the microcomputer in the KVM Switch.

After resetting, the restoration process does not affect server operation because the PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse are restarted with their modes maintained.

The USB keyboard and the USB mouse are disconnected for a one second interval.

This disconnection operation is used to restore USB operation.

(5) Ports for server connection

The ports of a KVM Switch are connected to the keyboard/mouse/monitor connectors by using dedicated cables.

(6) Monitor connector

The monitor connector is used to connect the monitor to a KVM Switch.

(7) Keyboard connector

The keyboard connector is used to connect the PS/2 keyboard to a KVM Switch.

(8) Mouse connector

The mouse connector is used to connect the PS/2 mouse to a KVM Switch.

(9) USB keyboard/mouse connector

The USB keyboard/mouse connector is used to connect a USB keyboard, mouse, or

hub to a KVM Switch.

It does not matter which of these is connected for operation. Devices other than a USB keyboard, mouse, or hub cannot be connected.

The maximum number of devices that can be connected is as follows.

4 port type

8 port type

16 port type

Keyboards: 2

Mouse devices: 3

Hubs: 1

Maximum total number of keyboards and mouse devices: 4

Maximum number of hubs:1 level

Note that when wireless type devices are connected using a wireless receiver, a signal

may be output that a mouse or keyboard is connected even though a keyboard or mouse is not actually connected.

In this case, devices that are not used are also counted in the number of devices that can be connected.

Point When keyboards or mouse devices are both connected to a PS/2 console and a

USB console, the USB side is given priority and the PS/2 side does not operate.
