Safety instructions
To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation of your device, please note the following guidelines:
Read this user manual carefully.
Only use the device according to this user manual. Failure to follow the instructions described can
damage the device or endanger the security of your data.
Take any required ESD precautions.
CAUTION
Danger of burns due to tremendously heated chassis surface after a long period of operation
When the chassis is fully equipped, the surface of the chassis can become very warm after a long period
of operation. If the chassis surface is touched after a long period of operation, this can cause skin burns.
Protective gloves must be worn to transport a fully equipped housing after a long period of operation.
Ensure that there is sufficient distance from the operator, e.g. for mounting under a table.
Installation Location
While operating the device and the power supply units can get warm. Damage to the device can occur in a
damp environment.
Use the device only in dry, indoor environments.
Use the device only in a room with adequate ventilation.
For rack-mount installations, at least 0.5 RU (rack unit) is required above the KVM extender for
ventilation.
Do not place the power supply units directly on top of the device.
Existing ventilation openings on the device must always be free.
If installing the device under the table, place the device at a sufficient distance from the operator.
Place all power sockets including the sockets for the supplied external power supply units easily
accessible and directly next to each other.
Connection
Check the device and the power supply units for visible damage before connecting it.
Only connect the device if the device and the ports are not damaged.
Only use power supply units originally supplied with the product or manufacturer-approved
replacements.
Only use power supply units without any visible damage at the chassis or the cable.
Connect all power supply units to grounded outlets.
Ensure that the ground connection is maintained from the outlet socket through to the power supply's
AC power input.
Only connect the device to KVM devices using the interconnect cable - not to other devices, particularly
not to telecommunications or network devices
