Connecting Computers to the APC KVM Switch

1.Power down the servers that will be part of your APC KVM Switch system. Make sure that both of your switch units are turned off.

2.Locate your first input cable. It will have a 25-pin ÒDÓ connector at one end. Plug this cable into any numbered channel port on the rear of the switch. The other end of the input cable will have three con- nectors: a 15-pin ÒHDDÓ connector for your video, a PS/2 keyboard connection, and a PS/2 mouse connection. The PS/2 connectors are designated by a mouse or keyboard icon on the connector. Plug these connectors into the matching ports on your computer.
