Connecting a Keyboard, Monitor, and Mouse
40
n
There are only two USB ports on the rear of the Avid ISIS Engine. One of the ports is typically
used for the application key. When you purchase your KVM switch make sure it includes a USB
splitter cable so that both your keyboard and mouse can plug into the splitter cable and use a
single USB port on the Engine.
To connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the Avid ISIS:
1. Install your KVM switch in a suitable slot next to the Avid ISIS in the rack.
You can also place the monitor on a shelf, and the keyboard and mouse on a sliding tray in
the rack. These items are optional and can be purchased locally or from Avid.
c
Do not place the monitor on top of the Avid ISIS.
2. Attach the VGA connector on the monitor cable to the 15-pin video port on the back of the
Avid ISIS. Secure the connector with the thumbscrews on the connector. For exact locations
see
“Avid ISIS Rear Panel” on page 20.
3. Insert the connector on the keyboard and mouse cables into a USB splitter cable.
n
If you do not have a USB splitter cable, plug your keyboard and mouse cables directly into the
USB ports on the rear of the Avid ISIS | 5500.
4. Insert the other end of the USB splitter cable into a USB connector on the back of the Avid
ISIS | 5500.
