The Slim 3-in-1 KVM Combo Cable *
(with integrated all-in-one connector on Switch side)
Introduction
The LKV-S02SK/LKV-S04SK SuperSlimDesktopKVMSwitch is
a 2-/4-port PS/2 type KVM Switch that provides compact and
integrated all-in-one KVM connectors on the Switch side. It
enables user to access, control, boot and reboot multiple
computers using only one keyboard, video and mouse. LKV-
S02SK/LKV-S04SK
is of a slim form factor to save your
space from over-cluttering with all sorts of cable connectors.
The slim 3-in-1 combo KVM cable is tailored-made to integrate
keyboard, video and mouse interfaces all into one connector,
thus saving a lot of clumsy movements to make all connectors
within good order. It can be your best companion for the
management of 2 ~ 4 computers on either SOHO or corporate
desktop.
Before you install
The default setting of the LKV-S02SK/LKV-S04SK Super
Slim Desktop KVM Switch
is appropriate for most systems.
you do not need to configure the KVM Switch before
installation. It’s a Plug-and-Play device: First, connect the
shared keyboard, video and mouse to your KVM Switch and
then connect PCs to your KVM Switch using the slim 3-in-1
combo KVM cables. Then boot up your PCs one by one, and
you can start to operate the KVM Switch immediately!
For a quick start on installation and operation, please follow
the instructions below.
The correct setup sequence is ……
(1) Connect the shared keyboard, mouse and monitor to the
KVM Switch and then connect the KVM Switch to the
computers using the slim 3-in-1 combo KVM cable (with
integrated all-in-one connector on Switch side).
(2) Power up your connected computers one by one …
Since the KVM Switch receives power from the computer’s PS/2
interface, it is powered up when you connect the KVM cables to a PC.
Out-of-the-box Installation
Take the Super Slim Desktop KVM Switch out of the box and
begin installation….
Before connecting any cable to your KVM Switch, please make
sure all of your computers and their peripherals have been powered off.
Otherwise, the Switch system might not be set up properly.
Step 1. Make sure all the computers that are to be connected
to the KVM Switch and their peripherals are in
powered-off state. If not, power them off before you
proceed with the following steps.
Step 2. Connect the shared keyboard, monitor and mouse to
the corresponding connectors on the rear of your
KVM switch.
Step 3. Connect each of your computers to the KVM Switch
using the slim 3-in-1 combo KVM cable. You can use
individual standard keyboard, mouse and video
cables for extension. Depending on the cable you use,
the maximum cable distance is limited to 5 ~ 7 meters
(15.5 ~23 feet).
Since the KVM Switch is powered through the PS/2 interface, it is
powered on immediately when connected to the PS/2 keyboard/mouse
port of your PC (nonetheless when the PC being in powered off state).
Step 4. (Now your KVM Switch should have been powered-
up….) Power up the connected computers, and the
keyboard and mouse should be recognized. Now you
can begin operating the KVM switch.
DO NOT TRY to connect the KVM Switch to the computers
while the computers are still in powered-on states. Otherwise, the
computer will have difficulty recognizing your shared keyboard and
mouse.

push buttons or a keyboard hotkey sequence.

operation and channel switching. Simply press the button to
