OPERATION

1. Power Up Sequence:

There is no separate power control for the switch. The switch derives its power when either one of the two PC’s that are
connected to the switch are powered up. A Power Jack marked “+5VDC IN” on the back panel of the Switch is provided in
case an external power supply is needed. A separate power source may be required if the keyboard and PS/2 mouse
being used draws more current than can be provided from a single PC source.

Note:

Some of the multi-media keyboards on the market can draw as much as 500 ma of current. Also the new

Optical PS/2 mice draw as much as 100 ma of current.
