2.2 Safety Precautions
To avoid potential video and/or keyboard problems when using BLACK BOX products:
• Ιf the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computers and monitors are on
the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.
• Use only BLACK BOX-supplied cable to connect computers and KVM switches.
To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe
the following precautions:
• Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any BLACK BOX product configuration.
• Test AC outlets at the computer and monitor for proper polarity
and grounding.
• Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When using a
backup Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), power the computer, the monitor and
the ServSelect III off the supply.
NOTE:
The AC inlet is the main disconnect.
