Connector on the rear panel of the CS-72A.
2. Plug your keyboard, monitor and mouse into their respective
connectors of the Console Adapter Cable. Each connector is
marked with an approprieate icon to indicate itself.
3. Use the custom KVM cables (described in the Cables
section on p. 4), to connect the CS-72A CPU Ports to the
monitor, keyboard and mouse ports of the computers you

Note: If your computers use AT style connectors for the
keyboard, refer back to the note in the Cables section
on p. 4.

into an AC power source, then plug the power adapter cable
into the unit’s Power Jack. See the note on the next page for
