Safety Instructions
Read the “Safety Instructions” before use to ensure proper use of this product. Safety
Instructions contained in this section are written for the user, in order to avoid any damage
to property or injury to users; please read the following carefully.
Make sure that the power of the PC is OFF before connecting or disconnecting any of the
connectors. Also, be sure to discharge any static electricity. Connecting or disconnecting the
connectors while carrying a static charge or while the power of the PC is ON may damage the
PC or this device. Please note that, damage of this kind is not covered by the warranty.
Only PC’s equipped with the following type of keyboard, mouse and monitor connectors can
be hooked up to this device. Other specifications are not supported.
- Keyboard connector: Mini DIN 6P female (PS/2) x 1
- Mouse connector: Mini DIN 6P female (PS/2) x 1
- Monitor connector: Mini D-SUB 15P female (VGA) x 1
Connecting the PC requires optional dedicated cables (PS/2). There are two options: 3m and
5m. Use a 1.8m dedicated PS/2 cable for cascaded connections. Cables longer than that are
not covered by the warranty.
Special kinds of keyboards/mice (including programmable, wireless or those that require a
specific driver), which are not supported, will not operate. Use appropriate equipment.
The keyboard/mouse connector for this switch device is exclusively for PS/2 (Mini DIN 6P
female). Serial mouse or USB type keyboard/mouse connection is not possible.
Depending on the type of mouse (multi-functional mouse with wheel, etc.) or support software,
the device may not operate normally.
The keyboard/mouse connectors are the same shape. Check the colors and the orientation to
connect them correctly. If they are forced in or connected incorrectly, the switch device may
not function, and may be damaged as well.
Set up the keyboard, mouse and monitor on each PC correctly. If they are not set correctly,
they will not operate normally.
A DVI (Digital Video Interface) compatible display cannot be connected.
The display on the monitor connected to this device supports multi-scan, therefore check that it
is also working correctly when connected directly to PC. The resolution that this device
supports is 1600 x 1200 with a refresh rate up to 75 Hz. Also, the display may be off center
after switching, due to monitor and resolution settings. Set the monitor or video card if
necessary.
Depending on the combination of monitor and video card, the screen display may show some
degradation in quality (ghosts or blurring, etc.) or abnormality. This may be due to the monitor
cable, the monitor or the video card, so try changing the monitor or the video card.
The monitor cable connector is Mini D-SUB 15P. Make sure you connect it in the correct
orientation, and use the fixing screw to fix it in place. If it is not connected properly, it may
cause trouble.
Cascading can only be performed with Fujitsu KVM switches only. You cannot cascade with
switches produced by other manufacturers.
The maximum number of levels of cascaded connections is two. More than two levels cannot
be connected. Also, for a cascaded connection, make sure to connect a dedicated AC adapter
to the master side.
