If one of the tapes has been removed or appears disrupted, please call Belkin Technical Support at (800) 282-2355. 1 Overview Security Features · Dedicated Processors Designed specifically for secure environments, the Switch features a dedicated processor per computer port. This keeps each classified and unclassified computer completely separated and secure at all times, and prevents any unintended data transfer between computers. · No Memory Buffer The Switch does not have a memory buffer and does not have the ability to store data. This prevents any keystrokes or other data input from being unintentionally transferred as you switch between computers, ensuring the integrity of your classified data. The Switch does not include any features that require memory, such as hot keys, AutoScan, or an on-screen display (OSD). · Non-Reprogrammable Firmware The Switch features custom firmware that is not reprogrammable, preventing the ability to tamper with the KVM logic. · Tamper-Evident Tape Tamper-evident tape is placed on both sides of the enclosure, to provide indication if the Switch has been opened or compromised. · Tamper-Proof Hardware All integrated circuits are soldered directly to the printed circuit board to prevent tampering with the components. · NIAP Listing The Switch is listed by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), and is pending NIAP Common Criteria validation to Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL 4). 2 Overview Other Features · USB Support The Switch is compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 technology and supports Plug-and-Play connectivity with USB computers, keyboards, and mice. 1 section 2 3 4 5 6 7 · Video Resolution The Switch supports video resolutions of up to 1920x1440@75Hz. · Dedicated Port Selectors Port selectors, located conveniently on the front panel of the Switch, allow you to switch easily from one computer to the next. Each button controls a single computer port. · LED Indicators An LED above each port selector illuminates to indicate that the console currently controls the corresponding computer. As a port selector is pushed, the LED above it will light up. · Metal Enclosure The Switch features a rugged, metal enclosure that provides stability and allows the Switch to be placed beneath your monitor or other desk item. · Desktop or Rack-Mount Installation With its compact design, the Switch can be placed on your desktop or mounted to a standard 19-inch server rack for 1U installation.* *The 2- and 4-Port Switches require an optional Rack-Mount Kit for rack installation (Belkin part number F1D005). 3 Overview Equipment Requirements Cables Belkin highly recommends you use Belkin All-In-One USB KVM Cable Kits for your Switch to help ensure superior performance.

The 8-Port Switch (F1DN108U) can be mounted to a standard 19-inch server rack using the included rack-mount brackets and screws. An optional Rack-Mount Kit (Belkin part number F1D005) is available for use with the 2- and 4-Port Switches. Consider the following when deciding where to place the Switch: · your proximity to the port selectors on the front of the Switch · the lengths of the cables attached to your keyboard, monitor, and mouse · the location of your computers in relation to your console · the lengths of the cables you use to connect your computers to the Switch Warning: Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners). 8 Installation Step 1 Mounting the Switch (optional) Bracket Installation (F1DN108U) The 8-Port Switch includes adjustable mounting brackets ideal for installation in 19-inch racks. The mounting brackets feature three adjustment positions that allow you to set the Switch's face flush with the ends of the rails, or to extend the Switch past the front of the rails. Please follow these simple steps to achieve the desired adjustment. 1.1 Determine how far you would like the Switch to protrude from the rack. Select a bracket-hole scheme. Attach the bracket to the side of the Switch using the Phillips screws provided. (Refer to diagram below.) 1 2 section 3 4 5 6 7 1.2 1.3. Mount the Switch to the rack rails. (Refer to diagram below.) Your Switch is now mounted securely to the rack and you are ready to connect your console. 9 Installation Bracket Installation (F1DN102U and F1DN104U) The 2- and 4-Port Switches can be installed into a 19-inch rack using an optional Rack-Mount Kit, sold separately (Belkin part number F1D005). 1.1 Attach the Rack-Mount Bracket to the Switch using the Phillips screws provided. (Refer to diagram below.) 1.2 Mount the Switch to the rack rails. (Refer to diagram below.)
