How to Install Multiple KVM Switches
Pre-installation
Turn off power to all devices that you plan to connect. To prevent damage to your equipment because
of static-electric discharge, ground all devices on the installation.
Serial connection
To control additional computers, you can connect up to 31 KVM Switches from the first KVM
Switch. In a complete installation, you can control up to 512 computers from a single console.
1. Turn off power to all devices that you plan to connect.
2. Use a serial cable to connect the Chain Out port of the first KVM Switch to the Chain In port
of the second KVM Switch. (i.e., first station Chain Out to second station Chain In, second
station Chain Out to third station Chain In, etc.)
