ATEN Technology CS-74A user manual Installation

Installation

1.Before you begin, make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up have been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function. Otherwise, the switch will receive power from the computer.

2.To prevent damage to your installation

The CS-74A can either lay flat on the desktop or stand upright. To have it stand upright, unsnap its mounting stand from the bottom of the unit; turn it 90o; and snap it back into place. See the photo on the front page for an example.

Refer to the diagram on p. 7 as you do the following:

1.Plug the Console Connector Cable into the Console Port Connector on the rear panel of the CS-74A.

2.Plug your keyboard, monitor and mouse into the Console Keyboard, Monitor and Mouse connectors of the Console Adapter Cable.

3.Use the CS Custom KVM cables to connect the CS-74A CPU Ports to the monitor, keyboard and mouse ports of the computers you are installing.

Note: If your computers use AT style connectors for the keyboard, refer back to the note in the Cables section on p. 3.

4.If you choose to use external power, plug the power adapter into an AC power source, then plug the power adapter cable into the unit’s Power Jack. See the note on the next page for information about the adapter.

5.Turn on the power to the computers.

Note: The CS-74A’s default is to link to the first computer you turn on.
