Step 4 Powering Up the Computers

Power up all the attached computers and check for display and peripheral functionality. All computers can be powered on simultaneously.

Note: Your computers should recognize the Switch and automatically install the HID USB driver if necessary. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual if you are having problems with the USB keyboard or mouse.

When you power on your computers, the Switch emulates both a mouse and keyboard on each port and allows your computers to boot normally. The computer connected to port “1” will be displayed on the monitor. Check to see that the keyboard, monitor, and mouse are working normally. Proceed to do this with all occupied ports to verify that all computers are connected and responding correctly.

If you encounter an error, check your cable connections for that computer and reboot. If the problem persists, please refer to the Troubleshooting section in this User Manual.
