2. Hardware Installation
Before installation, please make sure all of peripherals and computers have been turned off.
This example of installation is based on 8 port Rack Mount KVM Switch and you also can
think that 4 port Rack Mount KVM Switch and 16 port Rack Mount KVM Switch have the
same installation procedure.
Step 1 Rack Mounting
Find a convenient place to put your KVM Switch. Its 19” rack mount form factor makes it
ideal mountable on 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. Using the attached cable, or the one included with
your monitor, connect it to the HD DB-15 female port on the back of the KVM unit labeled
with the monitor symbol at the CONSOLE connector.
