1 Introduction Thank you for your purchase of this KVM Switch (from here on, simply referred to as the "switch device"). This switch device is usable with PC/AT compatible computers and Sun workstations (hereafter referred to as "hosts") under multi-platform configurations. Requiring only a single master set of control devices (monitor, keyboard and mouse), this switch device allows you to operate hosts from a single console setup.

2. Features l By connecting several hosts (PC/AT compatible computers or Sun workstations) to this switch device, you can save a lot of space by using only one common master console rather than the situation of a console (monitor, keyboard and mouse) for each host that was previously required. However, you cannot hook up both a PS2 keyboard and mouse and a USB keyboard and mouse at the same time to the console.

4. Installation Procedure (Rack Setup) 1. Remove the four flathead screws from the left and right sides of the switch device's console panel. 2. Remove the console panel from the switch device, and attach the rack mount bracket (small) to it. (Use the attached M3 screws. (4 pcs.)) 3. Attach the rack mount bracket (large) to the rear panel side of the switch device. (use the attached M3 screws. (6 pcs.)) 4. Detach the console panel connector cable from the console panel before mounting it in the rack.
5. Setup 5.1. Getting started Set the DIP switches to match your chosen environment. Then confirm that the power cable for each host is plugged into an electric outlet and that the power is off. (Confirm connection (a)) 5.2.Connecting the hosts (using single switch device) 1) Connect the first host’s keyboard, mouse connector and CRT connector with the special cable (connect (b)), next connect the switch device’s host port connector (Mini D-Sub 15 pin female) to the special connector (black).
3) After each host and switch device have been connected, connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the [CONSOLE] connectors on the switch device. 4) Attach switch device's AC power cable and then plug it into an electric outlet. 5) After confirming that the connections have been made correctly, start up the attached hosts. 6) Acquire Plug-n-Play data for the monitor. When a monitor is first attached to the switch device, its Plug-n-Play data (EDID data) needs to be acquired by the switch device.
4) After each host and switching device have been connected, connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the [CONSOLE] connectors on the (master) switch device. 5) Attach switch device's AC power cable and then plug it into an electric outlet. 6) After confirming that the connections have been made correctly, start up the attached hosts. 7) Acquire Plug-n-Play data for the monitor.
6. Operation (Host selection) At the beginning, first powered up host is selected automatically. And if some hosts powered up at the same time, a host which connected lower port No. is selected. Also, when the power to a host is turned off while it is selected, the status is preserved. In that case, switch to the host you want to select with the selector buttons or the Hot Keys. In normal operation, there are two methods for selecting a host, the Host Selector Buttons and the OSD display (Hot Key Mode). 6.
