2 Safety Instructions
To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation of your Draco tera please
note the following guidelines:
Installation
Only use the device according to this User Manual. Failure to follow
these procedures could result in damage to the equipment or injury to
the user or installer.
Only use in dry, indoor environments.
The Draco tera and the power supply units can get warm. Do not
install components in an enclosed space without any airflow.
Do not obscure ventilation holes.
Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or
manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not use a power supply if it
appears to be defective or has a damaged chassis.
Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each case, ensure
that the ground connection is maintained from the outlet socket
through to the power supply's AC power input.
Do not connect the link interface to any other equipment, particularly
network or telecommunications equipment.
Only connect devices to the serial interface that are protected against
short circuit currents and incorrect voltages at the serial interface.
To disconnect the Draco tera from the power supply, remove the
power cord cables of all power supply units or switch supplies off.
Take any required ESD precautions.
In order to disconnect the device completely from the electric circuit, all
power cables have to be removed.
Repair
Do not attempt to open or repair a power supply unit.
Do not attempt to open or repair the Draco tera. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
Please contact your dealer or manufacturer if there is a fault.

3.1 Application
The Draco tera matrix is used to establish connections from consoles
(monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral devices) to various
sources (computer, CPU).
In its maximum configuration, up to 48 independent ports can be defined
and switched either as a console or a CPU.
The Draco tera matrix is designed to operate with extenders that are able
to transmit video, KVM and USB 2.0 signals. But it can also be used as a
video matrix.
The connection between the matrix and the peripheral devices, such as
KVM extenders or video sources, can be made by Cat X cables.
The matrix serves as a repeater and can be run at a maximum distance of
140 m from the consoles and 140 m from the sources.

3.3 System Overview
A Draco tera matrix system consists of a Draco tera matrix and, for KVM
applications, one or more CPU Units / CON Units. The Draco tera matrix
is connected to the CPU Units / CON Units by interconnect cables or
directly to the video devices where used as a video matrix.
CPU Units are connected directly to the sources (computer, CPU) by the
provided cables.
Monitor(s), keyboard and mouse are connected to the CON Units.
Communication between the Draco tera matrix and the CPU Units / CON
Units occurs over the respective interconnect cables.
