Safety Precautions
To avoid potential video and/or keyboard problems when using Avocent products:
Ιf the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computers and monitors are on the same
phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.
Use only Avocent-supplied cable to connect computers and KVM switches. Avocent
warranties do not apply to damage resulting from user-supplied cable.
To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe the
following precautions:
Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any Avocent product configuration.
Test AC outlets at the computer and monitor for proper polarity
and grounding.
