Installation

Before you begin, ensure that the power to all the devices you will be connecting

has been turned o. 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. To prevent damage to your equipment, make sure that all the devices you

will be connecting are properly grounded.

1. Plug your keyboard, monitor, mouse, microphone and speakers into

the appropriate connectors at the end of the console cable. The ports are color

coded and labeled with an identifying icon.

Note: Plug the keyboard in before plugging in the mouse. The

mouse connector (black) is actually a USB 2.0 port, and can accept

any USB compatible peripheral. You can even connect a hub to

install multiple USB devices.

2. Plug the keyboard, monitor, mouse, microphone, and speaker

connectors of the KVM cables into their respective ports on the

computers you are installing.

3. If you choose to use the remote selection switch, plug its cable into the

port selection switch jack, located on the right side of the unit.

Note: The switch can be operated with hotkeys only, so connecting the port

selection switch is optional.

4. Turn on the power to the computers.

Note: By default the switch links to the rst computer that is turned on.
