Note:1. It is recommended that the unit be installed by two people; one to hold it in place and the other to attach it to the rack.

2. The rackmounting kit that comes with the unit does not include screws or cage nuts. Contact your rack dealer for this hardware.

3. Allow at least 5.1 cm on each side for proper ventilation, and at least 12.7 cm at the rear of the unit for the power cord and cable kits.

1. This port serves as a 1 port USB 1.1 hub; USB 2.0 devices will not function as designed.

2. USB peripherals can only be shared among computers that are connected to the KVM switch via the USB connectors on the P778-Series USB/PS2 Combo KVM Cable Kit.

3. USB peripherals can only be shared among computers that are connected to the KVM switch that the USB peripheral is plugged into. Computers that are connected to daisy-chained KVM switches will not have access to the USB peripheral device.
