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 adapter—or a power cord from
one of the output jacks of an optional Extender chassis power supply—into
the receiver’s power jack.
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.
7. Plug the input cord of the receiver’s or power supply’s power adapter into a
working AC-power outlet. The receiver (and the chassis power supply if you’re
using one) should begin operating immediately; they have no on/off switch.
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 local-to-remote link should begin
functioning as soon as the transmitter and receiver are both operational.
CAUTION!
Even though the cabling and connectors might be the same, do not
connect an Extender to your LAN. Doing so will damage the Extender
and might damage the network as well.
