INSTALLATION
Prepare To Connect
1. Before connecting the KEEMUX to the CPUs, make sure all CPUs, the monitor, and the KEEMUX are turned OFF.
WARNING!
D
AMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE
CPU
IF POWER IS NOT DISCONNECTED BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING
CABLES
.
2. The dip-switches on the front panel are configurable for several tasks. Switches 1-6 are used for cascading actions (see
CASCADING on page 5) and switches 7 and 8 are for keyboard configuration. These keyboard configuration switches come
pre-configured with both in the “OFF” position. Do not change these settings, as this will cause the PS/2 keyboard to not
work.
FYI: Should switch 7 or 8 get changed to the “ON” position, it will be necessary to power-down the entire system
(including CPUs), change the dip-switches back to the “OFF” position, and then power the system back up. If it is
necessary to replace one PS/2 keyboard with another one, the keyboard can be hot-swapped without powering-down.
Refer to Fig. 1 for instructions on proper keyboard dip-switch configuration.
