The green POWER LED will turn on and the power-on diagnostic message
will display on the KVM monitor. If the KVM monitor is slow to acquire sync,
the power-on diagnostic may not be seen.

Computer 1 is automatically connected on power-up. On the front panel,
the SELECT 1 LED will light and computer 1’s label will display in the lower
left corner of the KVM monitor for 5 seconds, then disappear.

Step 3. Connecting the computers

(See Figure 8)
Connect each computer to the UltraView Pro using the appropriate CPU
cable. Connect the keyboard, video monitor, and mouse connectors of the
CPU cable to the corresponding keyboard, video monitor, and mouse ports
on the CPU.

Connect the DB25M end of the CPU cable to the DB25F CPU connectors
on the rear panel of the UltraView Pro. For ease of installation and
configuration, it is recommended that the CPUs be off at this time. When a
CPU is booted, the UltraView Pro can automatically determine the keyboard
and mouse types of the connected CPU. If the CPUs power needs to be
kept on, the UltraView Pro should be pre-configured before the CPUs are
connected. (See the configuration menu section)

The UltraView Pro can be pre-configured before any computers are
connected. This allows for connecting the computers to the switch while
they are powered on and not disrupting service on critical computers. If you
need to connect computers while power is still applied to them, configure
the switches keyboard and mouse type for each computer first using the
configure computer menu, then connect the CPU to the UltraView Pro using
the appropriate CPU cable. This procedure should only be performed if the
computers being connected with power on can hot switch the keyboard and
mouse without locking up the system.
