Step 1

Find a convenient place to put your DKVM-8E. Its 19” rack

mount form factor makes it ideal mountable on 19” rack.

When mounting to a rack, attach the included brackets to

the sides of the DKVM-8E. Take note of the length of your

cables so that your computers, DKVM-8E, keyboard,

mouse and monitor are distanced

properly.

Step 2

Connect the monitor to the DKVM-8E. Using the attached

cable, or the one included with your monitor, connect it to

the HD DB-15 female port on the back of the KVM-08

labeled with the monitor symbol at the CONSOLE

connector.

Step 3

Connect the keyboard to the DKVM-

8E. If you have an AT

type keyboard, you will need an AT to PS/2 adapter.

Step 4

Connect the mouse to the DKVM-8E.

Step 5

Now the PC connections will be made with the monitor

(VGA) connections first. Connect a VGA cable (15-pin

HDDB Male / Male) with the Male side to both of the PC

and the rear panel ofthe DKVM-8E unit to the connector

labeled VGA. Repeat this for all PCs.

Step 6

Connect the first computer’s mouse cable to the DKVM-8E.

If using a PS/2 cable, connect one end to the PS/2 mouse

port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1 PS/2

mouse port on the back of DKVM-8E. If using a serial

mouse cable, connect one end to a DB-9 serial port on the

computer, and the other end to the PC1 DB-9 serial mouse

port on the back of the DKVM-8E.
