DVI-D FIBER KVM-EXTENDER

3.3 System Setup

To install your DVI-D Fiber – Extender system:

1.Switch off all devices.

2.Connect your keyboard, monitor(s) and mouse to the Remote unit (depending on device type). Please ensure, to not swap Mouse- and Keyboard connector. The Keyboard connector is purple and the Mouse connector is green.

3.Using the supplied CPU KVM cable(s), connect the keyboard, monitor(s) and mouse connectors on the computer (or KVM switch). Please ensure, to not swap Mouse- and Keyboard connector. The Keyboard connector is purple and the Mouse connector is green.

4.Connect the interconnect cable to the INTERCONNECT socket(s)

5.Connect the 5V power supply to power the unit.

Only use the power supply originally supplied with this equipment or a manufacturer-approved replacement.

6.For a dual access system, connect the monitor for the Local console to the appropriate port on the Local unit. The port may also be used to feed into a KVM switch.

To the local (PS2-) Keyboard-/ Mouse port you can attach a Keyboard directly or Mouse/ Keyboard together, using the delivered adapter.

To attach a local (USB-) Keyboard/Mouse, please use additional USB port(s) at your CPU or use a USB Hub in-between CPU and local unit’s USB connector.

7.Power up the system.
