Connecting Servers to the KVM Ports
You need to connect a KVM Terminator to every server before connecting it
to a KVM port. Three Terminator types are available:
• APK4615 - PS/2 for PC servers
• APK4635 - USB for PC or Sun servers
• APK4645 - Sun Mini-DIN

Note: The KVM/net components are hot pluggable, but components of connected
devices, such as the PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports on a computer, may not
be hot pluggable. Turn off power to all devices before connecting them.
Power on connected devices again only after the KVM/net is powered on.
