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.
Hardware Installation
1. Plug a monitor into the Console side DVI connector using a standard male/male DVI cable;
plug a USB keyboard and a USB mouse into the dedicated USB keyboard and mouse ports
on the KVM switch.
2. Use a male/male DVI video cable to connect the DVI connector on the computer’s video
card, to one of the KVM’s PC ports (i.e. PC1). A dedicated DVI, USB and audio 4-in-1 KVM
cable can be used (i.e. StarTech.com ID: USBDVI4N1A6 or DVID4N1USB6).
NOTE: Ensure you are using the same type of DVI cabling throughout the installation (i.e.
DVI-D (digital) or DVI-I (analog/digital)). Mixing or using the incorrect type can result in
problems with the video.
3. Use a USB type A-B Cable to connect the KVM’s USB port (type B, square connector) for
the PC port used in Step 2, and the USB port on the computer (type A, flat connector).
