Extender correctly.
Safety
Precautions
CAUTION
This device adheres to the safety regulations related to information processing equipment
such as electronic office machines that are used in an office environment. If you have any
questions please contact your place of purchase or a Fujitsu maintenance person.
 To prevent extreme bumping or shaking when moving the Cat5 Extender use the
original shipping container or a box similar to it.
 During installation and before using the Cat5 Extender, carefully read [Installation] and
the section about environmental conditions in [Technical Specifications] to use the
Cat5 Extender correctly.
 Moving the Cat5 Extender from a cold environment to the installation location may
cause condensation to occur. Before using the Cat5 Extender allow it to dry out
completely and to reach the ambient temperature of the installation location.
 Make sure that the local power supply voltage is within the acceptable range of the
Cat5 Extender. Make sure that the rated voltage meets the specifications of the Cat5
Extender (Refer to [Technical Specifications] and the model plate on the Cat5
Extender).
 Make sure that the area around the outlet at which the Cat5 Extender is plugged in
does not obstruct immediate unplugging of the unit.
 Lay the cable in an area where it will not become damaged. Refer to the relevant
sections in [Connecting Cables] / [Removing Cables] when plugging or unplugging the
cables.
 Do not connect or remove the data transmission cables during thunderstorms.
 Do not allow foreign substances such as paperclips or other metal objects or liquids
inside the Cat5 Extender.
 In an emergency (such as: damage to the housing, parts or cables; or liquid or a
foreign object has fallen into the Cat5 Extender) remove the power cable as soon as
possible and contact your place of purchase or Fujitsu representative (Fujitsu
maintenance personnel).
 Only licensed engineers can repair the Cat5 Extender. Having unlicensed users
attempt repairs may cause electric shock or fire. Do not attempt to repair or modify the
Cat5 Extender yourself.
 Always hold the connector portion and do not jerk the cables when removing them.
 Do not plug or unplug connectors with wet hands.
 Do not place such unnecessary items as cups on the top of the Cat5 Extender.
 To prevent interference it is necessary to adequately isolate the data cables connected
to peripheral equipment.
 Keep this manual with the Cat5 Extender. If you give the Cat5 Extender to a third party
give them this manual also.

Observe the following when using the Cat5 Extender:
CAUTION
Familiarize yourself with the relevant safety precautions before using the Cat5 Extender.
Observe the safety precautions provided herein. They contain important information
intended to prevent accidents that could damage your property or cause you bodily harm.
 Make sure that the Cat5 Extender is turned OFF when plugging or unplugging
connectors. Before plugging or unplugging connectors, discharge electricity, especially
static electricity. Unplugging connectors without discharging static electricity or turning
the power OFF presents a risk of damage to the server or the Cat5 Extender. Be
advised that such damage is not covered by warranty.
 PC/AT compatibles and SUN servers can be connected to the Cat5 Extender. All
servers must be equipped with the keyboard, mouse, and monitor connectors listed
below. This device cannot be used with other types of connectors. PS/2 keyboards,
mice or SUN keyboards cannot be connected to the console simultaneously.


PC/AT : Mini DIN 6 Pin Female x 2
(1 each for PS/2 keyboard, and PS/2 mouse use )
: USB A-type Connector
: Mini D-SUB 15 Pin Female (monitor)
SUN : Mini DIN 8 Pin Female
: USB A-type Connector
: Mini D-SUB 15 Pin Female (monitor)
 Signals from the server are only compatible with the separate sync. They are not
compatible with the composite sync. Set the Cat5 Extender to separate sync.
 Connect the Cat5 Extender and server with one of the dedicated cables (PS/2, USB,
SUN, 1.8m each, available separately).
 This device will not function with unsupported keyboards (programmable, wireless) or
mice (wireless, including those with dedicated drivers) that have unique specifications.
Select peripherals accordingly.
 This device is equipped with PS/2 (6 pin mini DIN female) and SUN (8 pin mini DIN
female) keyboard connectors. It is not compatible with USB keyboards.
 This device is only equipped with a PS/2 (6 pin mini DIN female) mouse connector.
Serial and USB mice cannot be connected to the Cat5 Extender.
 This device will not function correctly with unsupported mice that are equipped with
PS/2 wheels and scroll functionality. The scroll functionality may not function correctly
when used in conjunction with certain support software.
 PS/2 keyboards and PS/2 mice have identically shaped connectors. Distinguish them
by color when making connections. Improperly connected peripherals will not only fail
to function correctly, but may cause the Cat5 Extender to malfunction.
 Set the console keyboard and server drivers correctly. The device will not function
correctly if settings are incorrect. (Example: Language drivers)
 This device is not compatible with DVI (Digital Video Interface) displays.
 The monitor cable is equipped with a Mini D-SUB 15 Pin connector. Confirm the
direction of the connector and securely tighten the fastening screws. Improper
connections could cause malfunctions.
5

 Use a separate sync or multiscan-compatible LCD display to set the resolution for the
monitor connected to the Cat5 Extender. Monitors supported by the Cat5 Extender
have a 1600 x 1200 resolution and a refresh rate of 75Hz. Image display may be
affected by the monitor in use and changes made to resolution settings. If image
display is affected, adjust the image settings at the monitor or video card.
 Image problems at high resolutions, as well as ghosting and bleeding with certain
settings may be caused by the length of the Cat5 cable, the monitor cable, or the video
card. Certain combinations of displays and video cards may prevent proper image
reproduction. To correct such problems, check the length of the Cat5 cable or change
the video card preferences.
 Use only Fujitsu Cat5 Extenders when connecting transmitters and/or receivers. The
Cat5 Extender cannot be connected to extenders made by other manufacturers.
