CHAPTER 3: Installation
4.Plug your monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly into the appropriately labeled connectors on the Extender receiver. Or, if you need to place them too far away to plug in directly, plug them into extension cables (see the Appendix) and run the extension cables to the connectors on the receiver.
5.Plug the output cord of the receiver’s power
6.If you’re using an optional Extender chassis power supply (PS5000), run its other power cords to any other receivers you’ve otherwise finished installing. Plug the output cord of the power supply’s power adapter into the power supply’s input jack.

8A. If you’re using the full Extender kit (ACU5010A), plug in and power up the CPU or KVM switch attached to the transmitter. The transmitter should begin operating immediately; it has no on/off switch.
NOTE
The Extender’s standalone transmitter normally draws its power from the keyboard leads of the connected computer or KVM switch. However,
if you need to use cabling (included cable + extension cable) whose total length is greater than 5 meters (16.5 ft.) to connect the transmitter to the CPU or switch, the CPU or switch might not be able to provide enough power to operate the transmitter. Call Black Box Technical Support if this turns out to be the case.
8B. If you’ve attached a standalone receiver (ACU5011A) to a ServSwitch model with an embedded transmitter, plug in and power up the switch, then plug in and power up the attached CPUs.
The Extender is now ready for use and its
