Installation
NOTE: Prior to the installation, please power off all devices that will be connected to
this system.
Ensure that all devices you will connect are properly grounded.
Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely
to generate electrical noise.
If you experience any problems using a USB KVM switch, the following BIOS setup
changes may be necessary for PC users and not necessary for Mac users:
• Set HALT ON ERROR to ALL BUT KEYBOARD.
• In PNP AND PCI SETUP, set PNP OS INSTALLED to YES and set USB IRQ to ENABLED.
Different systems may use different naming, so contact your system manufacturer for
further assistance with these settings.
