OverviewThe B011-000 PS/2 to SUN interface converter allows you to
control a SUN workstation from a PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse
and PC monitor by translating their signals to SUN keyboard,
mouse, and monitor signals. In addition, the B011-000 fully sup-
ports Tripp Lite’s existing KVM switches, so you can use them to
easily integrate SUN workstations into your KVM network.

Installation1. Plug the cables from your PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse
into the mini-DIN 6 pin connectors on the Console side of the
B011-000.
Note: 1. The mouse used with a SUN workstation is a three
button mouse. Use a three button PS/2 mouse to
fully emulate its functions.
2. If connecting to a KVM switch, use a PS/2 KVM
cable kit to connect the B011-000 to your switch.
2. Plug the cable from your PC monitor into the HD15 connector
on the Console side of the B011-000.
3. Use a 13W3 male-to-male cable to connect the SUN
workstation’s Video Out port to the B011-000’s Video In port.
4. Use an MD8 male-to-male and PIN to PIN cable to connect
the SUN workstation’s keyboard and mouse port to the
B011-000’s keyboard and mouse port.
