Installation

Important

1. Before you begin, make sure that the power to all the devices you will be connecting has

been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the

Keyboard Power On function. Otherwise, the switch will receive power from the

computer.

2. To prevent damage to your equipment, make sure that all the devices you will be

connecting are properly grounded.

Installing your new KVM-0223 involves the following steps:

1. Plug your keyboard, monitor, and mouse into their ports on the KVM-0223. The keyboard

and mouse ports are labeled with an icon to distinguish them.

Plug the keyboard in before plugging in the mouse. When using a

wireless composite keyboard and mouse, its USB cable must plug into

the KVM-0223’s keyboard port for the Hotkeys to function.

The mouse connector is actually a USB port, and can accept any USB

compatible peripheral. You can even connect a hub to install multiple

USB devices.

2. Plug your speakers into the KVM-0223’s speaker jack. *This step is optional

3. Plug the USB, video, and speaker connectors of the attached KVM cables into their

respective ports on the computers you are installing.

4. Turn on the power to the computers.

Note: The KVM-0223’s Power On default is to link to the first computer you turn on.
