KH2508A / KH2516A User Manual
Single Station Installation
In a single stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches daisy chained down from the KH2508A / KH2516A. To set up a single stage installation, refer to the installation diagrams starting on page 15 (the numbers in the diagram correspond with the numbers of the instruction steps), and do the following:
1.Ground the KH2508A / KH2516A by connecting one end of the grounding wire provided with your switch to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to the unit from surges or static electricity.
2.Plug the the console keyboards, monitors, and mice into the unit’s Console 1 and Console 2 console ports. The ports are color coded and marked with icons for easy identification.
Note: You can use any combination of keyboard and mouse connections. For example, you can use a PS/2 keyboard with a USB mouse.
3.Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect any available KVM port to a KVM adapter cable that is appropriate for the computer you are installing (see KVM Adapter Cables, page 5 for details).
Note: To support a resolution of 1280x1024, the recommended maximum distance between the KH2508A / KH2516A and the KVM adapter cable is 50 meters.
4.Connect the KVM adapter cable to the computer.
Plug the connectors on the KVM adapter cable into the appropriate ports of the computer you are installing. (See KVM Adapter Cable Installation Diagrams, page 16 for connection examples.)
5.Plug the female end of the power cord into the KH2508A / KH2516A's power socket; plug the male end into an AC power source.
After the KH2508A / KH2516A is cabled up, you can turn on the power. After it is powered up, you can turn on the servers.
