2 or 4 Port DVI VGA Dual Monitor USB KVM Switch w/ Audio & USB 2.0 Hub
Hardware Installation
NOTE: Prior to the installation, please power off all devices that will be
connected to this system.
1. Place the KVM switch in close proximity to the keyboard, mouse, and
monitor(s) you wish to use as the console controls.
2. Connect the USB keyboard, mouse, speakers and microphone (if
applicable) to the KVM switch.
3. Connect the DVI monitor into the Console’s DVI connector.
4. Connect the VGA monitor into the Console’s VGA connector.
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.
5. Use male-to-male video cables to connect the DVI and VGA connectors on
the computer’s video card, to the DVI and VGA ports for one of the KVM’s PC
ports (i.e. PC1).
NOTE: Do not mix different types of DVI cables (DVI-I, DVI-D) on the same
KVM switch.
6. Use a USB type A-B Cable to connect the KVM’s USB port (type B, square
connector) for the PC port used in the previous step, and the USB port
on the computer (type A, flat 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).
7. Repeat the previous two steps for each PC port on the KVM switch, or
each computer you wish to use on the KVM switch.
8. Connect the external power adapter from a wall outlet to the power
connector on the rear panel of the KVM switch.
9. Power up the first computer/device and wait for it to fully boot and test
keyboard/mouse functionality.
