Safety Precautions

To avoid potential video and/or keyboard problems when using Avocent products:

•If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computer and monitor are on the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.

•Use only Avocent-supplied cable to connect computers and KVM switches. Avocent warranties do not apply to damage resulting from user-supplied cable.

To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe the following precautions:

•Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any Avocent product configuration.

•Test AC outlets at the computer and monitor for proper polarity and grounding.

•Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When using a backup power supply (UPS), power the computer, the monitor and the OutLook unit off the supply.

NOTE: The AC inlet is the main disconnect.
