INSTALLATION

Pre-Configuration

Where to Place the Switch
The Switch is designed for positioning on the desktop. The exact placement will
be based on the location of your CPUs and length of your cables.
Cable Distance Requirements
For PS/2 computers: VGA signals are best retained when transmitted up to 25
feet (7.6m). Beyond 25 feet, probability of video degradation increases with an
increase in distance. For this reason, your PS/2 computer should be placed
within 25 feet of the KVM Switch.
Note: If your computer needs to be more than 25 feet from the KVM Switch, you
can use the Belkin CAT5 Extender (part number F1D084) to extend your PS/2
keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and monitor up to 500 feet (152.4m) away using a
standard CAT5 UTP cable.
Cautions and Warnings
Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air conditioning equipment, or
machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).

data, and/or to the Switch. Belkin Corporation will not be responsible for damage
caused in this way.
