3. Safety Instructions  
Read the “Safety Instructions” before use to ensure proper use of this product. Safety  
Instructions contained in this section are written for the user, in order to avoid any damage  
to property or injury to users; please read the following carefully.  
Make sure that the power of the PC is OFF before connecting or disconnecting any of the  
connectors. Also, be sure to discharge any static electricity. Connecting or disconnecting the  
connectors while carrying a static charge or while the power of the PC is ON may damage the  
PC or this device. Please note that, damage of this kind is not covered by the warranty.  
Only PC’s equipped with the following type of keyboard, mouse and monitor connectors can  
be hooked up to this device. Other specifications are not supported.  
- Keyboard connector:  
- Mouse connector:  
- Monitor connector:  
Mini DIN 6P female (PS/2) x 1  
Mini DIN 6P female (PS/2) x 1  
Mini D-SUB 15P female (VGA) x 1  
Connecting the PC requires optional dedicated cables (PS/2). There are two options: 3m and  
5m. Use a 1.8m dedicated PS/2 cable for cascaded connections. Cables longer than that are  
not covered by the warranty.  
Special kinds of keyboards/mice (including programmable, wireless or those that require a  
specific driver), which are not supported, will not operate. Use appropriate equipment.  
The keyboard/mouse connector for this switch device is exclusively for PS/2 (Mini DIN 6P  
female). Serial mouse or USB type keyboard/mouse connection is not possible.  
Depending on the type of mouse (multi-functional mouse with wheel, etc.) or support software,  
the device may not operate normally.  
The keyboard/mouse connectors are the same shape. Check the colors and the orientation to  
connect them correctly. If they are forced in or connected incorrectly, the switch device may  
not function, and may be damaged as well.  
Set up the keyboard, mouse and monitor on each PC correctly. If they are not set correctly,  
they will not operate normally.  
A DVI (Digital Video Interface) compatible display cannot be connected.  
The display on the monitor connected to this device supports multi-scan, therefore check that it  
is also working correctly when connected directly to PC. The resolution that this device  
supports is 1600 x 1200 with a refresh rate up to 75 Hz. Also, the display may be off center  
after switching, due to monitor and resolution settings. Set the monitor or video card if  
necessary.  
Depending on the combination of monitor and video card, the screen display may show some  
degradation in quality (ghosts or blurring, etc.) or abnormality. This may be due to the monitor  
cable, the monitor or the video card, so try changing the monitor or the video card.  
The monitor cable connector is Mini D-SUB 15P. Make sure you connect it in the correct  
orientation, and use the fixing screw to fix it in place. If it is not connected properly, it may  
cause trouble.  
Cascading can only be performed with Fujitsu KVM switches only. You cannot cascade with  
switches produced by other manufacturers.  
The maximum number of levels of cascaded connections is two. More than two levels cannot  
be connected. Also, for a cascaded connection, make sure to connect a dedicated AC adapter  
to the master side.

4. Characteristics  
4 PC’s can be operated with only one keyboard/monitor/mouse. A lot of space can be saved.  
Switching is always stable, even at simultaneous PC boot-up.  
5 or more PC’s can be connected by using a cascaded connection. A maximum of 16 PC’s  
can be connected.  
*In this case, additional device(s) and connection cable(s)/dedicated AC adapter(s) (sold  
separately) are necessary, depending on the number of PC’s.  
A cascaded connection can be used with FS-1000 series, so your assets can be utilized  
effectively.  
*When this device is used as a master, some functions will be limited; for example, the OSD  
display is disabled.  
Switching can be done simply with the select button or keyboard. In addition, for keyboard  
switching, there are three kinds of Hot Keys to ensure flexibility.  
*The three Hot Keys are Ctrl+Alt+Shift, Ctrl x 2 and Scroll Lock x 2.  
All ports can be used for Plug-n-Play (PnP) monitors.  
The setting data (VESA DDC2/EDID) of the monitor can be saved in all ports; therefore, the  
PnP function of the monitor will become effective at simultaneous PC boot-up.  
*The PnP function needs to be supported by the monitor and the PC.  
PS/2 mice are supported.  
PS/2 keyboards such as Microsoft and Logicool are supported.  
The following PS/2 mice are supported: 2/3 button mice, all types of wheel mice (Microsoft  
IntelliMouse, Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer, Logitech/Logicool MouseMan Wheel+, etc.)  
and Fujitsu FID677 (Multi-scroll mouse).  
*Special kinds of mice, which need dedicated drivers, are not supported.  
PS/2 keyboards are supported.  
*Special kinds of keyboards, which need dedicated drivers, are not supported.  
Auto Scan mode is installed for automatic switching, which is useful for PC monitoring. Also,  
the switching interval can be set (six levels from 3 to 60 seconds).  
For single use, an AC adapter is not necessary, because the device can be activated with the  
keyboard power of the PC.  
If the power capacity of the PC is not enough, a separate AC adapter can be used (available  
separately).  
*For a cascaded connection, one AC adapter is necessary at the master side.  
With an optional rack mount panel, 2 devices can be stored in 19-inch 1U space.  
This device can be connected to all PC/AT compatibles where PS/2 keyboard/mouse for  
PC/AT can be used.  
*Note that special kinds of OS's or keyboards/mice are not supported.

7. Operation (Selecting PC)  
There are two ways to select a PC: the select switch and the Hot Key Mode. Also, when the  
power to the selected PC is turned off, the status is preserved. Switch to the PC you want to  
select using the select switch or the Hot Key Mode.  
1. PC Selection using the Select Switch  
Press the select switch number of the PC you want to select and switch PC’s. Then, the  
SELECT LED above the selected number lights up. With cascaded connections, a PC can be  
selected directly by pressing the select switch number of the slave side and you don't have to  
switch to each PC in order from the master side. When using the select switch operation, the  
Hot Key Mode is released.  
2. PC Selection by Keyboard (called Hot Key Mode)  
Switch the PC’s by the following procedures. Switching cannot be done by pressing the  
"Select Key" directly. Also, note that the keyboard/mouse of the PC cannot be used in the Hot  
Key Mode.  
"Hot Key Mode" -> Switch by "Select Key" -> "End Key" enables PC operation  
(1) Hot Key Mode  
At the time of purchase, the following three kinds of Hot Keys can be used. Also,  
enable/disable can be set.  
Refer to "Enabling/Disabling Hot Key", and set the status as necessary.  
Press <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Shift> keys together  
Press <Ctrl> key twice (Press it quickly (within 300ms) in succession)  
Press <Scroll Lock> key twice (Press it quickly (within 300ms) in succession)  
In the Hot Key Mode, with or without cascaded connections, the SELECT LED on the  
master side changes from being lit to blinking (rapidly) and the Scroll Lock LED on the  
keyboard blinks as well. Although the lighted LED's (Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll  
Lock) on the keyboard will be turned off, the previous setting status will return once Hot  
Key Mode is terminated. The SELECT LED's on the slave side remain lit and do not blink.  
(2) Select Key  
A. Selection by the numeric keys  
Select by the numeric keys (1 to 4). In this way, a PC with its power off can also be  
selected. With cascaded connections, select PC’s on the master side by number keys  
(1 to 4), and select those on the slave side by the function keys (F1 to F4). PC’s on the  
slave side can also be selected in the following ways.  
Slave 1 selection: <F1> (immediate selection) or <F> and then <1> in order (within 1 sec/key)  
Slave 4 selection: <F4> (immediate selection) or <F> and then <4> in order (within 1 sec/key)  
B. Selection by the cursor keys  
With the cursor keys <><>, selections can be done in order. In this way, a PC with  
its power off cannot be selected.  
(3) End Key  
A. <Enter> key: Ends the Hot Key Mode and the selected PC can be operated.  
B. <Esc> key: Ends the Hot Key Mode, and the previous PC (before selection) can be  
operated.

(1) During the Hot Key Mode, press the number <0> key for automatic switching. The SELECT  
LED changes from a quick blink to a slow blink.  
(2) The switching interval can be adjusted by pressing the <> cursor key to make it shorter or the  
<> cursor key to make it longer.  
(3) Allowed Auto Scan Intervals are: 3, 5, 10 (default), 20, 40 and 60 seconds.  
(4) PC’s that are powered OFF will not be switched and will be skipped.  
(5) No normal keyboard or mouse input is accepted while the Auto Scan Mode is running.  
(6) To cancel the Hot Key Mode, press the End key.  
4. Enabling or Disabling the Hot Keys  
The Hot Keys can be enabled or disabled by setting. Set the status as necessary.  
At the time of purchase, all Hot Keys are enabled. The setting is retained when the power is  
turned off.  
(1) Disabling the Hot Keys  
While pressing the select switch "2", press the Hot Key you want to disable. Do not release the  
select switch before pressing the Hot Key, or the setting will not be done. Once the setting is  
done, the Hot Key cannot be used. Change the status when necessary. Other Hot Keys can be  
disabled in the same way.  
<Example> While pressing the select switch "2", press <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Shift>.  
(2) Enabling the Hot Keys  
While pressing the select switch "1", press the Hot Key you want to enable. Do not release the  
select switch before pressing the Hot Key, or the setting will not be done. Once the setting is  
done, the Hot Key can be used. Change the status when necessary. Other Hot Keys can be  
enabled in the same way.  
<Example> While pressing the select switch "1", press <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Shift>.  
(3) Initializing the Hot Keys  
While pressing the select switches "1" and "3", press the reset button. The SELECT LED blinks  
and all Hot Keys are enabled.  
5. Monitor Setting  
Saves the monitor setting data (VESA DDC2/EDID) to all ports. At the PC's boot-up, the  
monitor's PnP function will be enabled.  
(1) Connect the monitor and set its power ON.  
(2) While this device's power is ON (while the power of one or more PC’s is ON, or while the AC  
adapter is connected), press the reset switch.  
(3) The SELECT LED blinks and the setting data (VESA DDC2/EDID) is saved to all ports. At the  
same time, all LED's (Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock) on the keyboard blink. While  
blinking, no normal keyboard or mouse input is accepted.  
(4) After completion, the SELECT LED stays on. And the LED's on the keyboard return to normal.  
(5) Pressing the <E> key in Hot Key Mode performs the same process.  
(6) With cascaded connections, pressing the RESET switch on the master side saves the data to  
the slave side at the same time. (No need to press the RESET button on the slave side)  
(7) The setting data is retained even when all the PC’s are turned OFF, and will be enabled at PC  
boot-up. When the monitor is changed, reset following the above procedure and restart the PC  
*The PnP function needs to be supported by the monitor and the PC. It does not work  
in a non-supported device.
