Introduction

The D-Link DKVM-16 is a Keyboard, Video and Mouse KVM switch that allows

you to control up to 16 server computers using one keyboard, mouse, and

monitor. It is easy to use, powerful, and scalable. Each DKVM-16 port has a

dedicated microprocessor to intelligently manage port traffic and allows

simultaneous boot-ups for all attached PCs. The advanced microprocessor

technology also saves CAPSLOCK, NUMLOCK, and SCROLL LOCK status for

each PC. Two control buttons located on the front panel give you one touch

access to your attached PCs and the user-friendly on-screen display menu

allows you to configure your DKVM-16 switch’s settings. The daisy chain port

allows up to 8 DKVM-16 KVM switches to be stacked together for controlling as

many as 128 computers. Featuring hot-plug, auto-scan, keyboard hot keys and

audible feedback, the DKVM-16 makes it simple to manage all of your server

computers.

Hardware Installation (Continued)

Find a convenient place to place your DKVM-16. Its 19" rack mount form factor

makes it mountable on a 19" rack. When mounting to a rack, attach the included

brackets to the side panels of the DKVM-16. Take note of the length of your

cables so that your computers, DKVM-16, keyboard, mouse, and monitor are

distanced properly.

Connect the monitor console to the DKVM-16. Connect the attached cable, or

the one included with your monitor, to the HD DB-15 female port, labeled with

the monitor symbol at the CONSOLE connector on the back of the DKVM-16.

Hardware Installation (Continued)

Connect the keyboard console to the DKVM-16.

Connect the mouse console to the DKVM-16.

Hardware Installation (Continued)

Connect one end of the included VGA cable (15-pin HDDB Male / Male) to the

female connectors on the back of the PC. Connect the other end of the cable to

the rear panel of the DKVM-16. This step can be repeated for all PCs.

Using the included DKVM-16 cable, locate the mouse connector (green) and

connect one end to the PS/2 mouse port on the back panel of the computer, and

the other end to the PC1 PS/2 mouse port on the back panel of the DKVM-16.

Hardware Installation (Continued)

Using the included DKVM-16 cable, locate the keyboard connector (purple) and

connect one end to the PS/2 keyboard port on the back panel of the computer,

and the other end to the PC1 PS/2 keyboard port on the back panel of the

DKVM-16.

BackofPC

Double-check all of your connections. Make sure that the keyboard and mouse

cables are connected to the correct ports.

Repeat steps 5 through 8 for the remainder of the computers.

Attach the power supply to the DKVM-16 unit and plug the other end into an

electrical receptacle. When you see the LED for Port 1 light up and hear a beep,

switch on your PCs and monitor.

Note: To maintain stable operation of the DKVM-16, please keep the unit powered

using the power adapter when in use, especially when the DKVM-16 is in a

daisy-chain stack.
