Server - VGA and PS/2 connection

QS Rule

Connecting a Server or KVM Switch

The LED KVM Console can be connected to either a KVM

(keyboard/video/mouse) switch or a server.

You must always use the Raritan-provided KVM combo cable to make the connection.

A DVI cable is required if the server's or KVM switch's video port is a DVI port, or if you prefer using the DVI port.

Connections via VGA and USB or PS/2

You can make a connection to any VGA-based server or KVM switch via VGA and USB or PS/2.

Do NOT connect both USB and PS/2 connectors simultaneously.

Do NOT use a USB-A to USB-B cable for the keyboard and touchpad of the LED KVM Console.

If connecting Raritan's MCCAT28/216 KVM switch, the LED

KVM Console only supports the PS/2 connection.

Warning: Raritan's MasterConsole II (MCC) KVM switch is

NOT supported so do not connect any MCC device to it.
