and provide additional support at the rear of
the unit.
The connecting cables can reach up to 15
feet, so the Remote CPU must be within 15
feet of the console. If you're going to use the
optional keyboard/monitor/mouse interface
devices, you'll want to locate the Remote
CPU close enough for your equipment to
reach your work surface.
3. Connect the DC power cable between the
Remote CPU and the console. Rotate the
outer sleeve of the connector clockwise until
the sleeve is snug and finger-tight.
4. Connect the data cable between the Remote
CPU and the console. Rotate the thumb-
screws on each connector clockwise until
they are finger tight.
5. Make sure the POWER switch on the
Remote CPU is off.
6. Connect the detachable linecord to the
Remote CPU.
Next, connect the keyboard, mouse, and video
monitor.
Note: These connections are optional, but we
recommend using them to get the most from
your new Digital 8•Bus console.
1. Plug a PC-compatible keyboard into the KEY-
BOARD port on the back of the Remote CPU.
2. Plug a PS/2-compatible mouse into the
MOUSE port on the back of the Remote CPU.
3. Plug an SVGA video monitor into the VIDEO
port on the back of the Remote CPU.
