2.3 Connecting your devices

Ensure that the power adaptor is disconnected from the C5 KVM and that all the devices which are to be attached
are switched off. Connect your devices to the C5 KVM as shown in figure 6. Ensure that the cables are no longer
than the maximum cable lengths specified in appendix A. Any unused computer or peripheral connections can be
left unconnected. To connect computers with serial mouse connections and AT style keyboard connections you will
need to purchase adaptors. Please refer to appendix A for cable specifications.

The C5 KVM is now ready for use and will start to operate as soon the local and remote units are both powered
on. There is no requirement to switch the C5 KVM units on in any defined order. The C5 KVM local unit draws its
power from the connected computer via the keyboard cable. However, if you are connecting to a computer using
cables that are longer than 5 metres or are connecting to a lower powered device, such as some types of
keyboard/video/mouse switch, an optional power adaptor may be required. When using the optional power adaptor,
ensure that it is connected to the mains and powering the C5 KVM before you switch on the connected computers.
Under these circumstances, failure to switch the C5 KVM and computers on in the correct order can lead to the
mouse and/or keyboard not being recognised by the computers when they are switched on.
