Connecting Computers to the SwitchView OSD

1. Power down the computers that will be part of your SwitchView OSD

system. Make sure that both of your SwitchView units are turned off.

2. Locate your first expansion cable. There will be one 6-foot cable ending

with three connectors one each end: one 15-pin “HDD” for your video,

one 6-pin miniDIN connector for a PS/2 keyboard connection, and one

6-pin miniDIN connector for a PS/2 mouse connection.

Choose an available port, labeled A-H, on the rear of your

SwitchView OSD unit. Plug the video expansion cable connector into the

port of your chosen channel. Plug the PS/2 keyboard expansion cable

connector into the port. Plug the mouse expansion cable connector

into the appropriate port.

Plug the remaining ends of the video, PS/2 keyboard and mouse expan-

sion cables into the matching ports on your computer.

3. Locate your next input cable. Repeat step 2 with all the computers

that will be attached to your master SwitchView OSD. Next, attach the

remaining computers to the slave SwitchView OSD.
