IMPORTANT NOTES
Disconnecting and reconnecting PS/2 cables to a computer that is already switched on may cause
loss of mouse/keyboard control or cause the computer to ‘freeze’. It is recommended, therefore, that
the connections are made while the computer is powered-down. See also ‘Power-up Procedure’ on
page 28.
If you use a monitor cable or adapter other than that provided with the VN-MATRIX (as an encoder)
you must ensure that all pins are properly interconnected, otherwise the computer graphics card or
monitor may not operate correctly.
