Note: As a safety precaution, to keep the console from accidentally sliding out, the console is

locked into the in position. Before you can pull the console module out, you must release it by

pushing the catches on the unit’s front panel toward the center of the switch.

Note: The following limitations apply to the USB peripheral port:

1. This port serves as a 1 port USB 1.1 hub; USB 2.0 devices will not function as designed.

2. USB peripherals can only be shared among computers that are connected to the KVM switch via the USB connectors on the P778-Series USB/PS2 Combo KVM Cable Kit.

3. USB peripherals can only be shared among computers that are connected to the KVM switch that the USB peripheral is plugged into. Computers that are connected to daisy-chained KVM

switches will not have access to the USB peripheral device.

IfitbecomesnecessarytopowerOFFtheKVMswitch,followtheprocedurebelow:
