Module as shown below. The computer can be a USB-ready PC, Sun, HP server,
or a Mac.
Connecting to a PS/2 Controlled Computer
Connect the standard VGA cable and two mini-DIN6 male-to-male cables to the
computer and KVM Module as shown below. There are two mini-DIN6 female
connectors marked with keyboard and mouse, be sure not to swap the connections.

Alternative Input Devices
In addition to the built-in keyboard and touchpad, this rack console also supports
using an external keyboards and mouse, including wireless (cordless) keyboards and
mice. A USB port is accessible on the rack console that allow for connecting input
devices, as well as controls that can disable the touchpad in favour of an external
mouse. The USB port is hidden under the removable cover located in the upper
right corner of the keyboard tray. This USB port is best suited for use with a wireless
keyboard/mouse, as the transmitter can be connected, then neatly hidden from view.
Two switches are also hidden in this compartment, that can assist with the use of
an external mouse. The Touchpad switch can disable the touchpad completely, or
simply disable the touchpad scrolling feature. While the “Tap” switch can disable the
touchpad “Tap” feature, so tapping the touchpad does not register as a mouse-click.

replace the keyboard, pull out the keyboard tray, and remove 6 screws from the
underside of the tray. There is a small hole on the bottom of the tray as well, that can

cable underneath the keyboard and unplug it gently. While installing the replacement
keyboard, please ensure that you extend just enough of the cable to keep the
