AlphaServer and AlphaStation Keyboard/Mouse/Video Extension Cable Kit Installation Information

This document provides installation instructions for the AlphaServer and AlphaStation Keyboard/Mouse/Video Extension Cable Kit (2T-450KM).

The kit, comprising two 2-meter keyboard/mouse cables and one 2-meter video cable, is designed to extend the reach of these peripherals, allowing them to be located outside the system equipment cabinet.

The installation process involves:

1. Preparation: Shutting down the operating system and turning off the system's DC power.
2. Access: Opening the rear door of the equipment cabinet.
3. Connection: Connecting the male ends of the extension cables (keyboard, then mouse, then video) to their respective ports on the AlphaServer/AlphaStation chassis.
4. Routing: Routing these extension cables through any installed cable management brackets, securing them with tie wraps, and ensuring enough slack to prevent stress when the chassis is extended.
5. External Connection: Routing the cables out through the cabinet's cable egress area and connecting their female ends to the existing keyboard, mouse, and video monitor cables.
6. Completion: Closing the cabinet door and restoring power to the system.
