your Mac mini and another computer. No additional cables or software are required.

connecting a VGA adapter to the DVI connector. KVM does not
support direct DVI connections from monitors. VGA Connector

KVM fully supports all USB Apple® keyboards or PC keyboards, including all function keys. If
you have a keyboard with a built-in mouse hub, you may connect your mouse to the hub and
just connect the keyboard to KVM.

KVM supports any USB-based mouse.
System Requirements
KVM can be used with any USB-based Mac or PC desktop or notebook computer that runs on
one of these platforms:
• Windows® 2000, XP
• Mac OS® X v10.3 and above
Note: Before installing your KVM, verify that your USB keyboard and mouse work properly
with your Mac mini and the other computer you will be connecting.
1. Connecting your Console to KVM
1.1 Connect the video cable attached to your monitor
and connect it to the VGA port on the back of
your KVM.
Note: If you are using a DVI monitor, you will
need to attach a VGA adapter to your monitor
cable before connecting it to KVM.
1.2 Connect your keyboard and mouse cables to the
two USB ports on the back of your KVM.
Note: If your mouse plugs into your keyboard, you
only need to connect your keyboard cable to KVM.
You can connect a USB peripheral device to the
mouse port instead.
