3.3.2. Connecting the Console

To connect an LCD console to a computer, perform the following steps





1. Turn off your computer. You should always turn off your computer before connecting or

disconnecting a device.

2. Connect the video (VGA) connector of the KVM cable to the video card connector on the rear

panel of your computer.

3. Identify and connect the PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard connector to the correct PS/2 ports

on the rear panel of your computer, or if you prefer you can use the USB interface to connect
your computer. Use PS/2-USB switch (highlighted above) to select your interface.


Please Note: Do not connect PS/2 and USB cables at the same time!

4. Connect the AC to DC power adapter to the power inlet on the console and then to a power

outlet.

Make sure that the AC to DC power adapter and all other cables are connected properly. Be sure
to tighten all connector screws. Using two hands, grasp the rear of the console, lift the tab and pull
the panel up and forward. This will disengage the momentary on / off switch and the unit should
power on. The LED on the left or under of the monitor panel should turn from orange to green,
verifying that the unit is operational.

on/off button on the left or under side of the monitor panel to power up the unit.
