Cables
The following are the cables needed to connect your KVM Switch to the CPUs:
P750-006 PS/2 Cable Kit – 6’
P750-010 PS/2 Cable Kit – 10’
P750-015 PS/2 Cable Kit – 15’
Note: The wiring and pin assignments will not let you to use a Serial-to-PS/2 adapter at the KVM side of the cable.
Attempting to use a standard serial extender cable with adapters at both ends will fail.

complete CPU connection).
