Hot Plugging
The KVMS-RGBA4 supports USB hot plugging. Components can be removed and added back into the installation
by unplugging their cables from the CPU ports without the need to shut the unit down.
Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to Power Off the KVMS unit, before starting it back up you must do the following:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to the switch.
Note
: You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function that are
connected to the shut down switches. Otherwise, the switches will still receive power from the computers.
2. Unplug the switch’s power adapter cable.
3. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the switch’s power adapter cable back in.
4. After the switch is up, Power On the computers.
Port Numbering
Each CPU port on the KVMS-RGBA4 switch is assigned a port number 1 to 4. The port numbers are marked on
the rear panel of the switch.
The Port ID of a computer is derived from the CPU port number it is connected to. For example, a computer
connected to CPU port 3 has a Port ID of 3.
The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus with the Hotkey port
selection method.
