Instruction Manual 3

1. Plug 1 or 2 monitor(s) into the Console side DVI connector(s); plug a USB keyboard and a

USB mouse into the dedicated USB keyboard and mouse ports on the KVM switch.

2. Use a male-to-male DVI video cable to connect the DVI connector(s) on the computer’s

video card, to one of the KVM’s PC ports (ie. PC1). A dedicated DVI, USB and audio 4-in-1

KVM cable can be used (ie. StarTech.com ID: USBDVI4N1A6).

3. Use a USB type A-B Cable to connect the KVM’s USB port (type B, square connector) for the

PC port used in Step 2, and the USB port on the computer (type A, at connector).

4. Repeat for Steps 2 and 3 for each PC port on the KVM switch, or each computer you wish

to use on the KVM.

NOTE: Make sure that you have connected monitor(s) into the Console’s DVI port(s) before

plugging/unplugging the PC’s video connector(s).
