Chapter 2 Installation

2.2. Mounting the KVM Switch

The KVM Switch can be mounted either on desktop or on a standard 19” rack.

To adapt to different port capacity requirements, you are able to use the KVM

Switch either in single unit configuration or in multiple cascaded application. If you

intend to use multiple cascaded KVM Switches, please jump to the next section.

2.3. Connect Your PCs and Peripherals to

Single KVM Switch

Before connecting any PC or peripherals to your KVM Switch, make sure that the power

adapter is disconnected from your KVM Switch and all PC or peripherals that are going to be

attached to the KVM Switch should be turned off. If you did not turn off your PCs while connecting

to the KVM Switch, the shared keyboard and mouse will not be recognized.

Step 1. Make sure your KVM Switch, your PCs and peripherals are all powered off.

If not, turn the power off for the KVM switch, PCs and peripherals.

Step 2. Connect the shared keyboard, PS/2 mouse and monitor to the console

connectors on the rear of the KVM Switch.

Step 3. Connect the power adapter cord to the KVM Switch to power it on.

Step 4. Connect each computer system (still in powered-off state) to the KVM

Switch in turn either with the individual keyboard cable, mouse cable and

video cable, or the 3-in-1 keyboard/video/mouse combination cable for your

convenience, then power on each computer

The KVM Switch has to be turned on and properly connected to your PCs prior to your

booting up any PC. Please follow the correct boot-up sequence. The reason is that: while your PC is

booting up, it has to communicate with your keyboard and mouse and consequently gets response

from them. If your KVM Switch has not been running and connected to your PC, your PC might

have difficulty recognizing your keyboard and mouse, even if you turn on the KVM switch later on.

On the other hand, your KVM Switch also has to be present to keep track of all the modes and

parameters requested by the OS running on each connected PC.

If your computers are with serial mouse connections and AT style keyboard connections,

you should use the AT-to-PS/2 adapters specified in appendix C, Cable Diagrams. Note that even if

you have an existing 6-pin mini-DIN to 9-pin serial adapter that came with your serial mouse, it

might not work with your KVM Switch, since it might have a different wiring configuration.

The cable distance from your keyboard, video and mouse to your PC should be within 25

feet (or 7.6 m) as to ensure signal quality and proper transmission. If you want to extend the

distance over, use of a Cat5 Extender is recommended.

Now the KVM Switch is ready to operate as soon as you turn on any of the attached

computer.
