Physical Connections
Local Consoles connections can be found on the rear panel of the
Dominion KX.
• Monitor: Attach a standard multisync VGA monitor to the HD15 (F)
video port.
• Keyboard: Attach either a standard USB keyboard to one of the USB
ports or a standard PS/2 keyboard to the Mini-DIN6 keyboard port.
• Mouse: Attach either a standard USB mouse to one of the USB ports
or a standard PS/2 mouse to the Mini-DIN6 mouse port.
• Hubs: A USB keyboard and/or mouse can be also connected through
a standard USB hub, which may be plugged into either USB port on
the KX. A total of three external hubs are supported.
• Combo: If using a "combo" keyboard (a keyboard with a built-in
mouse or trackball that attaches with a single USB cable), plug the
USB connector into either USB port on the KX. Do not connect any
other USB or PS/2 devices. Note that USB combo devices require KX
1.4.7 or later.
Note: Some combo devices (such as the Dell KVM drawer Model # 15FP)
have a single USB connector as well as a PS/2 mouse connector.
When using a device like this, you may connect just the USB connecter
(recommended, but requires KX 1.4.7 or later), or you may use the USB-
to-PS/2 adapter supplied with the device to plug the USB connector into
the purple PS/2 keyboard input on the KX, and plug the PS/2 mouse
connecter into the green PS/2 mouse input on the KX (which will work
on all versions of the KX, including legacy versions).
Note: USB ports are to be used only for keyboard, mouse and/or hub
access. Other USB devices, such as external drives, scanners, etc. should
not be connected to these ports.
