To install the CN8000A, refer to the installation diagrams on the next two
pages (the numbers correspond to the numbers of the steps), and do the
following:
1. Use the Custom Console Cable provided with this package to connect the
CN8000A’s PS/2-USB Console Port , to the local console keyboard,
monitor and mouse.
Note: 1. The Custom Console Cable comes with connectors for both PS/2
and USB mice and keyboards – use the ones appropriate for your
installation.
2. You can use any combination of keyboard and mouse
connections. For example, you can use a PS/2 keyboard with a
USB mouse.
2. Use the Custom KVM Cable provided with this package to connect the
CN8000A’s PC/KVM Port , to the keyboard, video and mouse ports of the
server, or KVM switch’s port or KVM cable that you are installing.
Note: 1. The diagram shows a connection to a KVM switch with PS/2
mouse and keyboard ports using a PS/2 KVM cable set. The
CN8000A can also connect to a server or KVM switch that uses
a USB connection by using a USB KVM cable set. See

DynaSync Mode , page 106, for mouse pointer synchronization
information.
