2. Installation
LINDY explains:
Flexible configuration
The LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP has many ports for connection to computers,
keyboards, mice and monitors. There are no restrictions placed upon which ports are
connected to devices and you can leave any of the ports disconnected if you wish.
You do not need to connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to each user port if you
do not wish to use all of these. You may perhaps decide to connect just a keyboard
and monitor or you may decide to connect to just one user port. All of these
configurations are supported. What's more, your devices do not all need to be of the
same type. You may wish to use a large high-resolution monitor with an extended
keyboard and a wheel mouse on one user port and a smaller monitor with a basic
mouse and keyboard on another. The LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP intelligently
handles these mixtures of devices.
2.1 What you will need
