Safety Precautions
To avoid potential video and/or keyboard problems when using Avocent products:
•
Ι
f the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computers and monitors are on the same
phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.
• Use only Avocent-supplied cable to connect computers and KVM switches. Avocent
warranties do not apply to damage resulting from user-supplied cable.
To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe the
following precautions:
• Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any Avocent product configuration.
• Test AC outlets at the computer and monitor for proper polarity
and grounding.
• Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When using a backup
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), power the computer, the monitor and the AutoView
switch off the supply.
NOTE: The AC inlet is the main disconnect.
