a DB-9 serial port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1 DB-9 serial mouse port on the
back of the RA15/17KVM8. If you need Serial DB-9 to PS2 Mini Din 6 pin adapter, please
contact your supplier.
Step 3
Connect the first computer’s keyboard cable to the KVM Switch. Using another PS/2 cable connect one
end to PS/2 keyboard port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1 keyboard port on the back of
RA15/17KVM8. If your computer has an AT type keyboard port, you will need a PS/2 to AT keyboard
