Connecting the B050-000 to the Host System

To connect the server to the B050-000:
1. Attach the provided cable(s) to:
• The VGA outlet on your server or the local console video port on your KVM Switch. Use the blue VGA connector
• Either the USB port on your server or your KVM Switch (or the PS/2 connector on the alternate cable to
the PS/2 ports on your server or KVM)
2. Connect the RJ45 Ethernet connector to your local Ethernet hub using a CAT5 or CAT6 Ethernet cable.
3. Connect the external power supply to the 5V power connector and power on the B050-000.
Warning: The USB standard guarantees up to 500mA of power per single USB port. The B050-000 needs up
to 700mA current and therefore is not guaranteed to work on USB alone. However, most of the current USB
ports provide more than 700mA so that no external power is needed to power the B050-000. Taking more
power from a USB port than specified may cause damage to your computer and therefore we recommend
using the B050-000 AC adapter at all times.
