PS/2 Computer
To connect a computer controlled through PS/2, use a StarTech.com 3-in-1 Ultra-Thin
PS/2 KVM cable (Product ID: SVECON) to connect from one of the PC ports to the PS/2
keyboard and mouse, as well as the VGA port of the computer system.
Cascaded configurations
NOTE: The master must have equal or more PC ports than that of the slave. For
example, if an 8-port switch is the Master, an 8-port or 4-port switch can be a Slave, but
not a 16-port switch.
NOTE: PS/2-only models can be cascaded with USB+PS/2 universal models.
NOTE: To be used as Slaves in a cascaded configuration, the slide switch on
SV831DUSB or SV1631DUSB must be adjusted to PS/2 mode.
The ports labelled PC 1 - PC 8 can be connected to either a computer or a Slave’s
CONSOLE port. The ports marked PC A - PC H can only be connected to computers. Use
only the 3-in-1 (PS/2) cables to connect the Master’s PC ports and Slave’s CONSOLE port.
