Cabling To insert the cable, plug it into the appropriate connector. The locking mechanism automatically locks the cable in place. Connect the cables to the switch in this order: 1. Mouse 2. Monitor 3. Keyboard This cable connection sequence is particularly important later when installing new devices to the system. The user can connect a mouse and/or keyboard to the switch when the system is running. When connecting the new device, the console switch recognizes the device and configures it to the settings of the currently selected computer. This allows the user to replace failed devices without having to restart the system. When making changes to the switch system, the user should save the hardware configuration settings. If the settings are not saved, they are lost when power is lost or turned off. To re-establish keyboard and mouse communication to the switch, the user might have to reboot each computer. To save the hardware settings, click Snapshot on the Commands screen. Refer to Chapter 4 for additional information on using the OSD. Connecting the Cables WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment: • Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. • Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times. • Disconnect the power from the unit by unplugging the power cord from either the electrical outlet or the unit.
