Connecting the B050-000 to the Host System

Perform the following steps in order to connect the KVM signals of the server system to the B050-000:

1.Attach the pre-mounted system cable to

The VGA outlet of your server or the local console video port of your KVM switch. Use the system cables’s blue connector that is still unused.

The USB to one of the USB interfaces of your server or your USB-KVM switch.

2.Connect the RJ45 Ethernet connector to your local Ethernet hub using a CAT5 cable.

3.Connect the external power supply to the 5V power connector and power on the B050-000.

Warning

The USB standard guarantees up to 500mA power per single USB port. The B050-000 needs up to 700mA current and therefore does not work on USB alone. However, most of the current USB ports provide more than 700mA so that no external power is needed to power the B050-

000.Taking more power from a USB port than specified may cause damage to your computer and is therefore not recommended.
