Legend:

The DCIM-USB G2 provides a small slide switch on the back of the CIM. Move the switch to P for PC-based USB KVM target servers; move the switch to S for Sun USB KVM target servers.
A new switch position takes effect only after the CIM is power-cycled. To power-cycle the CIM, remove the USB connector from the target server and plug it back in a few seconds later.

Supported Video Resolutions

Ensure that each target server's video resolution and refresh rate are supported by the Dominion KSX and that the signal is noninterlaced.

Video resolution and cable length are important factors in the ability to obtain mouse synchronization. See Target Server Connection Distance and Video Resolution.

The Dominion KSX supports these resolutions:
