Installation

Connecting to the Host Computers and Network

Power down the computer to which the KVM Remote Control will be1.

connected (Host computer).

If present, disconnect the existing monitor and keyboard/mouse from2.

the Host computer.

Using a StarTech.com integrated KVM cable (sold separately),3.

locate the male VGA (monitor) connector and connect it to the VGA-

out connector on the back of the Host computer’s video card.

If using a SVECONxx KVM cable, connect the PS/2 keyboard and4.

mouse connectors on the host computer end of the KVM cable.

If using a SVECONUSxx KVM cable, connect the single USB

connector into the Host computer.

Insert the DE-15 connector on the opposite end of the integrated5.

KVM cable into one of the PC connectors on the rear panel of the

KVM switch.

Using a Category 5 Ethernet patch cable, connect the LAN6.

connector on the rear panel of SVxx41HDIE to a network data jack

(usually on a hub, switch, router, or pre-wired wall jack).

IMPORTANT: If you want to continue to use the host computer locally,

skip step 7 and go directly to “Connecting a Local Keyboard, Mouse,

and Monitor” after completing step 8. Otherwise, complete steps 7 and

8 now and continue to Conﬁguration Methods Explained.

Connect the power cord (provided) to an available electrical outlet,7.

plug the opposite end of the power cord into the AC/DC adapter, and

plug the power connector into the DC-in port on the rear panel of the

unit.

Power on the Host computer.8.

NOTE: Only integrated KVM cables branded by StarTech.com will work

on all SVxx41HDIE series KVM switches.

IMPORTANT: This KVM switch is convection-cooled. As such, please

ensure the vents on both sides are unobstructed.

Connecting a Local Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor

SVxx41HDIE has the capability to connect a local keyboard, mouse,

and monitor to the host computer for maintenance and monitoring,

allowing users to physically use the host computer as though

SVxx41HDIE were transparent. If needed, the unit can be run through

a typical KVM switch like any other computer. Using a KVM cable, you

can connect the Server Remote Control’s host computer inputs to the

“console” connectors on a KVM switch allowing you to control more

than one computer remotely using a single Server Remote Control.

If cascading, the SVxx41HDIE can only be the Master. Consult the

Disabling Mouse Acceleration on the Host Computer

NOTE: If you are using USB to connect KVM switch to the host

computer, you will not be required to adjust the mouse settings

on the host computer, as this device uses “Absolute” mode, which

eliminates any problems you may otherwise experience with mouse

synchronization or host mouse acceleration.

Many operating systems offer a feature called mouse acceleration,

allowing the user to adjust the responsiveness of the cursor on the

screen in relation to physical movements of the mouse. While this

is usually a beneﬁcial interface enhancement, it can interfere with

the operation of the KVM switch and should be disabled on the host

computer before a remote session is attempted. Follow the instructions

below to disable mouse acceleration for the operating system installed

on the host computer.

Windows 98

From the Control Panel, click on Mouse.1.

From Mouse Properties, click on the Motion tab.2.

Make sure the Pointer speed bar is centered and Acceleration is set3.

to None.

Windows 2000

From Mouse properties, click on the Motion tab.2.

Make sure that the Pointer speed bar is centered and Acceleration is3.

set to None.

Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

Go to Pointer Options and turn off Enhance Pointer Precision and1.

ensure that the pointer speed bar is centered.

Conguring the SVxx41HDIE

This IP KVM switch offers four distinct methods for conﬁguring the unit

for your network. Which method will work best will depend on your level

of experience and your speciﬁc network conﬁguration.

Web Conguration Using the On-Screen Display

Upon boot-up, including following a reset, The IP KVM switch will

display a window on the local video output, that will appear as follows:

The initial screen will display the IP address assigned by your existing

DHCP server (if present on your network). If no DHCP server is

detected, a factory assigned IP address will be displayed in its place
