• When connecting the KVM switch to the facility’s power supply circuit, ensure that the circuit is not overloaded.
Rackmount Warnings
• Ensure there is adequate airfl ow within the rack.
• Mount the KVM switch evenly within the rack to eliminate potentially hazardous uneven mechanical loading conditions.
• Ensure that all rackmount equipment is reliably grounded.
Connection Warnings
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support
equipment or to signifi cantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a fl ammable anesthetic
mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Ensure that the cables used with the KVM switch are not close to any sources of electrical noise interference such as fl uorescent lights, HVAC systems or
motors.
• Ensure that the distance between any computer and the KVM switch does not exceed 33 ft. (10m).
• Shut down all PS/2 computers before connecting the keyboard, monitor and mouse to ensure that they will be recognized by the computer.
