Standalone KVM Switch—Installation

This section provides complete instructions for the hardware setup of a single Rack-Mount Console with 8-Port KVM Switch.

Before you begin, determine the type of connection that will be used to connect the computer to the Switch on each port and select the appropriate KVM cable.

Connecting Computers to the Switch (PS/2 Connection)

1.Using the OmniView ENTERPRISE Series Dual-Port PS/2 Style KVM Cable (F1D9400-XX), connect the high-density, 50-pin, SCSI 2-style connector to the next free KVM port, starting with the port for the first two computers (for best results, screw the connectors into the Switch and the computer, when possible).

2.Connect the VGA and PS/2 connectors of your KVM cable to the server (make sure that you connect the keyboard and mouse cables to the correct ports on your server).

3.Repeat steps 1 through 2 for each additional server you wish to connect.

PS/2 Connection

Connecting Computers to the Switch (USB Connection)

Note: Early versions of Windows operating systems do not automatically install HID devices. Manual installation of the HID driver may be required.

1.Using the OmniView ENTERPRISE Series Dual-Port USB Style KVM Cable (F1D9401-XX), connect the high-density, 50-pin, SCSI 2-style connector to the next free KVM port, starting with the port for the first two computers (for best results screw the connectors into the Switch and the computer, when possible).

INSTALLATION

2.Connect the USB connector of your KVM cable to the computer. If your computer is running Windows Me or later, skip to step 6. Otherwise, continue with step 3.

3.Boot up the computer you wish to connect via USB, as you would normally, with the keyboard, mouse, and monitor connected directly to the computer.

4.Take the USB cable attached to the Switch and connect it to an available USB port on your computer.

5.Your computer should detect and identify the Switch as a generic mouse and keyboard. Manually install the HID device driver by selecting “Next” through the Windows Hardware Wizard until the HID devices are completely installed (the Switch will install four devices if not previously installed on your system: an HID keyboard, an HID mouse, a generic keyboard, and a generic mouse). The driver installation only needs to be done once for each computer; the Switch will be detected automatically in the future. When driver installation is complete, power down the computer and disconnect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

6.Connect the male VGA HDDB15 connector located on one end of the KVM cable to the VGA port on the computer.

7.Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each additional computer you wish to connect to the Switch via USB.

USB Connection

Note: For USB installation, we recommend you attach the KVM cable directly to a free USB port on your computer, not through a USB hub.
