1.4 Intended Use
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 160 independent ports can be defined and switched either as a console
or a CPU.
The Draco tera matrix is designed to operate with extender modules that transmit KVM, audio, and data
signals.
The connection between the matrix and the peripheral devices, such as KVM extender modules, can be
made by Cat X or fiber.
The matrix serves as a repeater and can be run at a maximum distance of 10 km from the consoles and
10 km from the sources.

2 Safety instructions
To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation of your device, please note the following guidelines:
Read this user manual carefully.
Only use the device according to this user manual. Failure to follow the instructions described can
damage the device or endanger the security of your data.
Take any required ESD precautions.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock or bruising, abrasions or severing due to an opened chassis
If the housing is opened while power is supplied to the device, electric shock may occur if the internal
wiring is touched. If a running fan is touched, bruising, abrasions or severing of fingers may occur.
There are no necessary maintenance procedures that require opening the case.
Do NOT remove the cover of the chassis.
Do NOT install the device in environments where children are likely to be present.
CAUTION
Risk of burns due to tremendously heated chassis surface after a long period of operation
When the chassis is fully equipped, the surface of the chassis can become very warm after a long period
of operation. If the chassis surface is touched after a long period of operation, this can cause skin burns.
Protective gloves must be worn to transport a fully equipped housing after a long period of operation.
Ensure that there is sufficient distance from the operator.
Do NOT install the device in environments where children are likely to be present.
Installation Location
While operating the device can get warm. Damage to the device can occur in a damp environment.
Use the device only in dry, indoor environments.
Use the device only in a room with adequate ventilation.
For rack-mount installations, at least 0.5 RU (rack unit) is required above the device for ventilation.
Existing ventilation openings on the device must always be free.
Place all power outlets easily accessible and directly next to each other.

Check the device for visible damage before connecting it.
Only connect the device if the device and the ports are not damaged.
Place all power outlets easily accessible and directly next to each other.
In case the device is equipped with one or more grounding screws, it is obligatory to use these for

3 Consignes de Sécurité
Pour garantir un fonctionnement fiable et sûr de votre périphérique à long terme, veuillez respecter les
directives suivantes :
Lisez attentivement ce manuel d'utilisation.
N'utilisez le périphérique que conformément à ce manuel d'utilisation. Le non-respect des instructions
décrites peut endommager le périphérique ou mettre en danger la sécurité de vos données
Prenez toutes les précautions nécessaires contre les décharges électrostatiques.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque d'électrocution ou de contusions, d'abrasions ou de coupures dues à un châssis ouvert
Si le châssis est ouvert alors que le périphérique est sous tension, un choc électrique peut se produire si
le câblage interne est touché.
Si vous touchez un ventilateur en marche, vous risquez de vous blesser, de vous écorcher ou de vous
couper les doigts.
Aucune procédure d'entretien nécessaire ne requiert l'ouverture du boîtier.
Ne retirez PAS le couvercle du châssis.
N'installez PAS le périphérique dans des environnements où des enfants sont susceptibles d'être
présents.
ATTENTION
Risque de brûlures dues à la surface du châssis très chaude après une longue période
d'utilisation
Lorsque le châssis est entièrement équipé, la surface du châssis peut devenir très chaude après une
longue période de fonctionnement.
Si la surface du châssis est touchée après une longue période d'utilisation, cela peut provoquer des
brûlures de la peau.
Des gants de protection doivent être portés pour transporter un châssis entièrement équipé après une
longue période d'opération.
Veillez à ce que la distance avec l'opérateur soit suffisante
N'installez PAS le périphérique dans des environnements où des enfants sont susceptibles d'être
présents.
Emplacement de l'installation
Pendant le fonctionnement, le périphérique et les prises d'alimentation peuvent chauffer. L'appareil peut
être endommagé dans un environnement humide.
N'utilisez le périphérique que dans un environnement sec et intérieur.
N'utilisez le périphérique dans un lieu correctement ventilée.
Pour les installations en rack, au moins 0,5 RU (unité de rack) est nécessaire au-dessus du
périphérique pour la ventilation.
Les ouvertures de ventilation existantes sur l'appareil doivent toujours être libres.
Placez toutes les prises d'alimentation y comprises les prises des alimentations du module externe
fourni dans un endroit facilement accessible et les unes à côté des autres.

Connexion
Avant de connecter le périphérique et les unités d'alimentation, vérifiez qu'ils ne présentent pas de
dommages visibles.
Seulement connectez le périphérique et les unités d'alimentation que si l'appareil et les ports ne sont
pas endommagés.
Placez toutes les prises de courant facilement accessibles et directement les unes à côté des autres.
Si le périphérique est équipé d'une ou plusieurs vis de mise à la terre, il est obligatoire de les utiliser en
fonctionnement normal pour assurer la mise à la terre du châssis.
Connectez toutes les alimentations électriques à des prises reliées à la terre. Dans chaque cas,
assurez-vous que la connexion à la terre est maintenue depuis la prise de courant jusqu'à l'entrée
d'alimentation CA de l'alimentation.
Ne connectez le périphérique qu'à des périphériques KVM à l'aide du câble d'interconnexion - pas à
d'autres périphériques, en particulier pas à des périphériques de télécommunications ou de réseau.
Déconnecter le périphérique du circuit
AVIS
Les fiches de câble du côté du périphérique peuvent contenir un verrou. En cas de nécessité d'une
déconnexion rapide et complète des circuits électriques externes :
retirez toutes les fiches de câble correspondantes de la prise,
ou mettez l'interrupteur des prises de courant (si elles existent) sur la position « Off ».

4.1 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. All available ports of the matrix can be used either as an input or as an output port depending on
components and equipment. Non-blocking access is available for all users, i.e., user access is not limited
by the activities of another user.
CPU Units are connected directly to the sources (computer, CPU) by the provided cables. Monitor(s),
keyboards, and mice are connected to the CON Units. The communication between the Draco tera matrix
and the CPU Units / CON Units occurs over the respective interconnect cables.
The Draco tera matrix supports a wide and flexible range of system configurations:
A part of the Draco tera can be configured as a Single-Head workstation, a part as Dual-Head workstation,
or even as Quad-Head workstation for example. In addition, there are configurations with KVM and
USB 2.0 available.
4.2 Installation Examples
The following section shows typical exemplary installations of the Draco tera:

Console (monitor, keyboard, mouse)
If you have a Single-Head console, you can also get access to a Dual-Head or Quad-Head source
(computer, CPU) for example. However, control is only possible at monitor 1 and only one video signal is
displayed.

Any signal source can be switched to any number of monitors that will show the video signal at the same
time. Audio may also be switched if required.
Single-Head Installation with Multi-Screen Control
When using Multi-Screen Control, switching control between up to eight connected sources (computers,
CPUs) can be performed at one sink with only one connected mouse or keyboard. In a Single-Head
installation, the sink can consist of up to eight monitors. In a matrix system, Multi-Screen Control can be set
up at multiple sinks.
