Hardware Installation

1. Connect up to three monitor(s) into the Console’s DVI connectors; plug a USB

keyboard and a USB mouse into the dedicated USB keyboard and mouse ports on

the KVM switch. If using audio, also connect speakers with 3.5mm mini-jack plugs.

2. Use male-to-male DVI video cable(s) to connect the DVI connector(s) on the

computer’s video card, to the DVI ports for one of the KVM’s PC ports (i.e. PC1).

NOTE: Do not mix dierent types of DVI cables (DVI-I, DVI-D) on the same KVM.

3. Use a USB type A-B Cable to connect the KVM’s USB port (type B, square connector)

for the PC port used in Step 2, and the USB port on the computer (type A, at

connector). If using audio, connect 3.5mm mini-jack cables from the PC port to the

sound card.

NOTE: DVI + USB + Audio KVM combo cables are also available which can be used in

place of separate individual cables (e.g. StarTech.com ID: DVI4N1USB6).

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each PC port on the KVM switch, or each computer you

wish to use on the KVM.

5. OPTIONAL: Connect any other USB peripheral you wish to share between the

connected computers/devices to the extra USB Hub port on the Console side.

6. Connect the external power adapter from a wall outlet to the power connector on

the rear panel of the KVM switch.

7. Power up the rst computer/device and wait for it to fully boot and test keyboard/

mouse functionality.
