USER GUIDE
Installing the Smart 2 system
Before installing the system do the following:
• Switch off both computers.
• Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners,
and machines that are likely to generate electrical noise.
Connecting cables to the front panel
Connect a keyboard, screen and mouse to the front panel using
their existing cables.
Connecting a Power adapter
The Smart 2 receives its power from the connected computers
and should not need a Power adapter. If the Smart 2 does not
receive enough power from the computers, connect a Power
adapter to the front panel.
Use a Minicom Power adapter P/N 5PS20025. The power
supply specifications are: Regulated 6VDC 2 Amp, minus on
internal pin
.
