3.Safety Instructions

Read the “Safety Instructions” before use to ensure proper use of this product. Safety Instructions contained in this section are written for the user, in order to avoid any damage to property or injury to users; please read the following carefully.

Make sure that the power of the PC is OFF before connecting or disconnecting any of the connectors. Also, be sure to discharge any static electricity. Connecting or disconnecting the connectors while carrying a static charge or while the power of the PC is ON may damage the PC or this device. Please note that, damage of this kind is not covered by the warranty.

Only PC’s equipped with the following type of keyboard, mouse and monitor connectors can be hooked up to this device. Other specifications are not supported.

- Keyboard connector:	Mini DIN 6P female (PS/2) x 1
- Mouse connector:	Mini DIN 6P female (PS/2) x 1
- Monitor connector:	Mini D-SUB 15P female (VGA) x 1

Connecting the PC requires optional dedicated cables (PS/2). There are two options: 3m and 5m. Use a 1.8m dedicated PS/2 cable for cascaded connections. Cables longer than that are not covered by the warranty.

Special kinds of keyboards/mice (including programmable, wireless or those that require a specific driver), which are not supported, will not operate. Use appropriate equipment.

The keyboard/mouse connector for this switch device is exclusively for PS/2 (Mini DIN 6P female). Serial mouse or USB type keyboard/mouse connection is not possible.

Depending on the type of mouse (multi-functional mouse with wheel, etc.) or support software, the device may not operate normally.

The keyboard/mouse connectors are the same shape. Check the colors and the orientation to connect them correctly. If they are forced in or connected incorrectly, the switch device may not function, and may be damaged as well.

Set up the keyboard, mouse and monitor on each PC correctly. If they are not set correctly, they will not operate normally.

A DVI (Digital Video Interface) compatible display cannot be connected.

The display on the monitor connected to this device supports multi-scan, therefore check that it is also working correctly when connected directly to PC. The resolution that this device supports is 1600 x 1200 with a refresh rate up to 75 Hz. Also, the display may be off center after switching, due to monitor and resolution settings. Set the monitor or video card if necessary.

Depending on the combination of monitor and video card, the screen display may show some degradation in quality (ghosts or blurring, etc.) or abnormality. This may be due to the monitor cable, the monitor or the video card, so try changing the monitor or the video card.

The monitor cable connector is Mini D-SUB 15P. Make sure you connect it in the correct orientation, and use the fixing screw to fix it in place. If it is not connected properly, it may cause trouble.

Cascading can only be performed with Fujitsu KVM switches only. You cannot cascade with switches produced by other manufacturers.

The maximum number of levels of cascaded connections is two. More than two levels cannot be connected. Also, for a cascaded connection, make sure to connect a dedicated AC adapter to the master side.
