Before installation, please make sure all of peripherals and computers have been turned off. This example of installation is based on 8 port Rack Mount PS/2 IP-KVM switch and you also can think that 16 port Rack Mount PS/2 IP-KVM switch and 32 port Rack Mount PS/2 IP-KVM switch have the same installation procedure. In order to connect the PS/2 IP-KVM switch to the host system, please perform the following steps:

Step 1

Attach the power supply to the KVM unit and plug the other end into an electrical receptacle.

Step 2

Find a convenient place to put your PS/2 IP-KVM switch. Its 19” rack mount form factor makes it ideal mountable on 19” rack. When mounting to a rack, attach the included brackets to the sides of the PS/2 IP-KVM switch. Take note of the length of your cables so that your computers, KVM Switch, keyboard, mouse and monitor are distanced properly.
