Connecting the B050-000 to the Host System
Perform the following steps in order to connect the KVM signals of the server system
to the B050-000:
1. Attach the pre-mounted system cable to
• The VGA outlet of your server or the local console video port of your KVM
switch. Use the system cables’s blue connector that is still unused.
• The USB to one of the USB interfaces of your server or your USB-KVM
switch.
2. Connect the RJ45 Ethernet connector to your local Ethernet hub using a CAT5
cable.
3. Connect the external power supply to the 5V power connector and power on
the B050-000.
Warning
The USB standard guarantees up to 500mA power per single USB port.
The B050-000 needs up to 700mA current and therefore does not work
on USB alone. However, most of the current USB ports provide more
than 700mA so that no external power is needed to power the B050-
000. Taking more power from a USB port than specified may cause
damage to your computer and is therefore not recommended.
