Safety

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

• Avoid circuit overload. Before energizing, review the electrical specifications in the product documentation.

• Use only the supplied power cord or a power cord approved for use in your region.

• The cord must have voltage and current ratings equal to or greater than those of the product rating label requirements.

• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible. Do not disable the grounding pin.

• Make sure that all equipment, including power strips, is properly grounded.

• The AC inlet is the main disconnect device for the product.

• This product has no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not remove product cover. All repairs should be performed by authorized personnel only.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

• Do not connect the RJ-11 connector marked "UPGRADE" to any telecommunication network.

• Plugging in devices other than those specified in the product documentation may result in equipment damage

• Allow sufficient airflow for safe operation. To avoid overheating, make sure the product enclosure openings are never blocked or covered. Rack temperature must be less than 40°C.

• Uneven mechanical loading can create a hazardous condition.

• Do not use the product as a shelf.

• Use only the installation mounting hardware provided to avoid damage.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

NOTICE

• Do not use the device near water, Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.

• Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.

• Position system cables and power cables carefully; Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.

• Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.

• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from the rack.

• Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding a device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.

• After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, and then slide the device into the rack.

• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.

• Make sure that all equipment used on the rack, including power strips and other electrical connectors, is properly grounded.

• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.

• Ensure that the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature specified for the equipment by the manufacturer

• Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a rack.

• Equipment mounted on rails should not act as shelf or work surface.

• Route the power cord and cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.

Item Description

 Port LEDs Each port has a left (Online) and right (Selected) LED

pair that provides status information about a corresponding server port. A GREEN Online LED indicates the corresponding attached server port is operating correctly. An ORANGE Selected LED indicates the corresponding attached server has the KVM focus. Under normal conditions, the LED is steady. When accessing its port under Auto Scan Mode, the LED flashes. Each time the Coaxial Analog KVM Switch begins to provide power, it performs a self-test. The Online LED and then the Selected LED blink once during the selftest.

 Reset switch Allows you to perform a system reset by pressing the

recessed Reset switch with a thin object (such as the end of a paper clip or ballpoint pen).

 Disable Remote button Enables or disables remote access to the console.  Remote console To use a remote console, plug a CAT-5 cable (not

included) into the RJ-45 connector. When both a local and remote console are present, both can access the Analog KVM Switch (but not simultaneously). Push the Disable Remote button to toggle between “Remote access allowed” and “Remote access disabled.” When the remote console is accessing the switch, you can view input data through the local console, but can only make changes through the remote console. When the local console is accessing the switch, you can view input data through the remote console, but can only make changes through the local console. The Local and Remote LEDs indicate which console is currently in use. When a remote extension unit is attached and is receiving power, the two LEDs alternately light when no one is accessing either console.
