Plug the display cables into the
CONSOLE primary (1) and

connector to enable either
video format to be used as
input or output.
Plug the USB keyboard and
mouse and audio cables into
the appropriate CONSOLE
ports on the back of the switch.
If desired, connect the Cybex™
Active Front Panel (AFP) KVM
remote unit to the RCU port to
control your switch remotely.
