Connecting Computers to the KVM Switch
Connect each computer to the KVM switch using a Tripp Lite B078-101-
PS2* or B078-101-USB* Server Interface Unit (SIU), and a Cat5e Patch
Cable. (For best results, use a Tripp Lite N001-, N002-, N201- or N105-
series cable.*)
*Available Separately from Tripp Lite.
Connecting Server Interface Units (SIUs) to the KVM Switch
Server Interface Units (SIU) draw their power from the connected computer.
In the case of the PS/2 Server Interface Unit (model # B078-101-PS2), the
power is drawn from the keyboard port. In the case of the USB Server Interface
Unit (model # B078-101-USB), the power is drawn from the USB port. When
connected and receiveing power, the green LED on the SIU will illuminate.
When the SIU is connected to the active port on the KVM, the orange LED will
illuminate.
