5. Safety
Safety Precautions
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 FUJITSU COMPONENT sales representative.
●To prevent extreme bumping or shaking when moving a KVM Switch, use the original shipping
container or a box similar to it.
●During installation and before using a KVM Switch, carefully read [9. Installation] and the section
about environmental conditions in [12.Specifications] to use the KVM Switch correctly.
●Take power from a power outlet that constantly provides power without being interrupted by
switches.
●Moving a KVM Switch from a cold environment to the installation location may cause condensation
to occur.
Before using a KVM Switch, allow it to dry out completely and to reach the ambient temperature of
the installation location.
●Lay cables in an area where they will not become damaged. Refer to the relevant sections in [10.
Cable connection and removal] when plugging or unplugging the cables.
●Do not connect or remove cables during thunderstorms.
●Do not allow foreign substances (such as necklaces and clips) or liquids inside KVM Switches.
●In an emergency (device or parts failure: damage caused by liquid or foreign objects in the KVM
Switch), remove all cables from the KVM Switch as soon as possible and contact your FUJITSU
COMPONENT sales representative.
●Only licensed engineers can repair a KVM Switch. Any unlicensed user that opens a KVM Switch
and makes incorrect repairs may cause electric shock or fire.
●Always hold the connector portion and do not jerk the cables when removing them.
●Avoid operating a KVM Switch or unplugging connectors with wet hands.
●Do not place any unnecessary items (such as a cup) on top of a KVM Switch.
●Only licensed personal can uncouple, remove, or replace parts (such as electro-magnetic wave
devices) which bear a warning mark (such as a lightning bolt).
●To prevent interference, it is necessary to adequately isolate the data cables that are connected to
peripheral equipment.
●Keep this manual with the KVM Switch. If you give the KVM Switch to a third party, also give them
this manual.
6. Note When Using a Cascade Connection
●Using a cascade connection with previous KVM Switch models
For cascade connections with previous KVM Switch models, even though a cascade connection
is possible by using the previous KVM Switch model as the master or slave side, restrictions
may apply to functions with some models.
Caution

7. Features
●Using a KVM Switch enables multiple PC servers to be operated by eliminating the need for
multiple consoles (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) and making the use of multiple PC servers
possible from a single console, greatly reducing the workspace area.
●The maximum number of servers that can be selected for KVM Switches is four for the 4 port type,
eight for the 8 port type, and 16 for the 16 port type.
●The number of connectable servers can be increased by using a cascade connection.
Example: 256 servers can be connected with 17 KVM Switches (16 port type).
●WUXGA (1920×1200) and a refresh rate of 60Hz is supported for the resolution of the monitor.
●Servers can be easily selected by using the keyboard and mouse (Hotkey mode).
●In the Hotkey mode, the server can be changed on the On Screen Display (hereinafter referred to
as OSD) as the screen is being watched.
●For the OSD, hot keys can be input from the keyboard and mouse. Selection and settings can be
performed by using three types of hot keys (<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Shift>, <Ctrl> x2, <Scroll Lock> x2)
or by clicking the central button of the mouse with a wheel button.
●AutoScan is performed by the front switch or by the keyboard.
●Because AutoScan automatically changes running servers, the status of each server can be
monitored at a constant cycle. In addition, six levels can be set for the frequency of changing.
●A PC that has a USB port or a PS/2 port for keyboard and mouse interfaces can be connected to
servers by using dedicated server/PC connection cables (refer to the items in the optional
products section of [12.Specifications]).
●The FS-11XXMU supports ORACLE (SUN) servers.
