2.4 Hardware Installation

Before installation, please make sure all of peripherals and

computers have been turned off.

Step 1 Rack Installation

Find a convenient place to put your KVM Switch. Its 19” rack

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

When stacking to a rack, attach the included brackets to the

sides of the KVM Switch. Take note of the length of your

cables so that your computers, KVM Switch, keyboard, mouse

and monitor are distanced properly.

Step 2 Connecting Monitor to the KVM Switch

Connect the monitor to the KVM Switch. Using the attached

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

HDDB-15 female port on the back of the KVM unit labeled with

the monitor symbol at the CONSOLE port connector.

Step 3 Connecting Keyboard to the KVM Switch

Connect the keyboard and mouse to the KVM Switch. If you

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

adapter.

Step 4 Connecting Mouse to the KVM Switch

Connect the mouse to the KVM Switch.

Step 5 Connecting VGA port of PC(s) to the KVM

Switch

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

of the KVM switch to the connector labeled VGA. Repeat this

for all PCs.

Step 6 Connecting Mouse port of PC(s) to the

KVM Switch

Connect the first computer’s mouse cable to the KVM Switch.

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

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

the back of KVM Switch. If using a serial mouse cable

(optional), connect one end to a DB-9 serial port on the

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

the back of the KVM Switch. If you need Serial DB-9 to PS2

Mini Din 6 pin adapter, please contact your supplier.

Step 7 Connecting Keyboard port of PC(s) to the

KVM Switch

Connect the first computer’s keyboard cable to the KVM

Switch. Using another PS/2 cable connect one end to PS/2

keyboard port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1

keyboard port on the back of KVM unit. If your computer has

an AT type keyboard port, you will need a PS/2 to AT keyboard

adapter.

Step 8 Check Again

Double-check all of the connections. You can check the color

of keyboard and mouse connector to make sure the keyboard

and mouse cables go to the correct ports.
