Hardware Setup

Overview

For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing the PS/2, USB, and serial device interfaces, as well as multiple platforms, the KH1508 / KH1516's design utilizes KVM Adapter Cables (CPU Modules), that serve as intermediaries between the switch and the connected devices (refer to the installation diagram on page 13).

A separate KVM Adapter Cable is required for each computer or device connection. See KVM Adapter Cables, page 4 for the model numbers.
