Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

Before installation, please make sure all the peripherals and computers have been turned off.
The installation below is based on 8 port-Rack Mount KVM Switch. Please follow the same
installation procedure for the 16 port Rack Mount KVM Switch.
Step 1
Find a convenient place to put your KVM Switch. Its 19” rack mount form factor makes it ideal to
be mounted on a 19” rack. When mounting to a rack, attach the included brackets to the sides
of the KVM Switch. Take note of the length of your cables so that your computers, KVM Switch,
keyboard, mouse and monitor are distanced properly.
Step 2 (Local Console)
Connect the monitor to the KVM Switch. Connect the attached cable, or the one included with
your monitor, to the HDDB-15 female port on the back of the KVM unit marked with the monitor
symbol at the CONSOLE connector.
