OK so call me a loser - I had the pin assignments wrong on CN2 Video works great! Now the darn keyboard is giving me issues. I was looking at http://www.kroptech.com/kvm/blackbox.html and since my PS/2 connector doesn't have pin markings I tried with odds on the left and right and all I get is a dimly lit numlock key. Very frustrating for four simple wires I've also tried a USB keyboard and no joy. The EX475 doesn't appear to have JP2 - the only jumper I see is CN13 and has no affect. Any further thoughts? EDIT I'm a dork. I guess when I miswired the thing it broke the keyboard. Tried a new one and all is well Thanks again! |

khufus2, Use your multimeter to find out which one is which. Don't trust the colors, these are always mixed up on VGA cables (from my own experience). I could only say Red, Green and Blue pairs are _probably_ connected to correspondent R, G, B and R(Ground), G(Ground), B(Ground) pins on VGA. |

Wire colors do not always indicate what is what and sometimes manufactures change the meanings of the wire colors for whatever reason they deem necessary. For this reason I agree with HappyBison's recommendation. Its always good practice to verify what your working with. |

Hello, i found your forum while i searched for a possibility for entering the bios on my datavault x312. what you write here about this ps2-adapter sounds good, does anybody know if this works with the x312 too? if it works, there still is the question how i connect the ps2-ports to the cable. there are some adapter-boards where i can see something like a resistor in line to the ps2. do i need to put something in there or can i connect the wire without something to the ps2-connector? greetings, Wobbi |

Open your datavault and take a picture... if it's the same connector, it's a strong possibility. Someone here may know off of hand as well though. |

The X312 is the same as the X310 and it does use the same debug board connector. |

So you think it will work? then thereĀ“s the other question. do i have to put something like a resistor or a capacitor in line to the ps2-ports or can i connect directly to je mainboard-connector? thanks for answering, Wobbi |

Pin1 is identified on the connector by the triangle. Build the rest to spec and it should work fine. Cheers |

Good job ymboc for all the work you did in the early phases of this thread. I got my cable up and running no problems for my LX195 today. Never would have been so easy without all the info contained in this very useful thread !!! |

I built a cable for a friend's EX49x this week. I had to add the jumper and ground pin 4. Here is my handywork.

There's a hole in the side of your MSS! |

Nice work! Since those pins don't look protected, what policy do you use to make sure the pins don't short with the chassis? |
