Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to power off the KH2508A / KH2516A, or if the switch loses power and needs to be restarted, before starting it back up it is suggested that you follow these procedures to prevent possible equipment issues:
1.Shut down all the computers that are attached to the switch.
Note: You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function.
2.Wait 10 seconds then power it back on. If you have shut down more than one station, power up the highest station first and work your way down to the lowest one. Wait for each station to display its station ID on the front panel LED before powering on the next one.
3.After the station(s) is (are) up, power the computers back on.

For example, a computer that is connected to KVM port 3 of a switch that is in the 12th position of the daisy chain, would have a port ID of
