3.3.2 Connecting the TFT5600 to the Console Switch

The TFT5600 KVM has a mouse, keyboard, and VGA graphics cable hard-wired to the back of
the unit. When connecting the KVM to other devices, note the following:
• The mouse and keyboard plugs have a locking mechanism. Pull back on the sleeve to unlock
the mechanism, and push forward on the sleeve to lock it in the port.
• The connection sequence is as follows:
1. Mouse
2. Video
3. Keyboard
• You can connect a mouse, and keyboard or both to the switch when the system is running.
When you connect the device, the console switch recognizes the device and configures it to
the settings of the currently selected computer. This allows you to replace the failed devices
without having to restart the system.
