Initial Power-Up


Make sure all computers and KVM Switches are powered down
during installation. You must power up the Master KVM Switch
before turning on any other devices.


 For single KVM Switch: 1) Apply a power adapter to the

Master. 2) Turn on computers.

 For cascade: 1) Apply a power adapter to the Master.

2) Apply power adapters to all Slaves. 3) Turn on
computers.

Note: You may hot plug additional powered-down computer and
Slave without turning any existing KVM Switch or computer off after
initial power up.

Replace Master Console Devices


You can replace a faulty keyboard or mouse of the Master
CONSOLE port at any time without powering down the Master, as
long as your computers are booted with proper device driver for the
new device. Should you encounter any difficulty, just activate K/M
RESET
by holding both front-panel ‘1’ and ‘2’ push buttons down for
2 seconds.

Adhesive Rubber Foot


For desk-top operation, you may stick the four round rubber feet
(supplied with the unit) to the bottom of the KVM Switch. NOTE: Do
not use the rubber feet for rack mount operation. Give the rubber
feet a firm press to prevent them from getting loose.
