CAUTION
If you do not use cables supplied by Intergraph Computer Systems, ensure the cables you use
are shielded to prevent excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI). Cables supplied by
Intergraph Computer Systems are designed to reduce the amount of EMI produced by the
system.
NOTE
When connecting a multimedia keyboard, note the power and keyboard cables are connected to
a single adapter cable. You must unplug the adapter cable from the power and keyboard
cables, and then connect the keyboard cable to the keyboard port. You can connect the power
cable to the AC adapter delivered with the multimedia keyboard to power the keyboard and its
components. See the documentation delivered with the multimedia keyboard for more
information about the power, keyboard, and adapter cables.
