Installing the KVM Switch

Pre-Configuration

Where to Place the KVM Switch

The compact size of the KVM Switch makes it perfect for desktop placement. Consider the following when deciding where to place the KVM Switch: whether or not you intend to use the direct-access port selectors; the length of the cables attached to your keyboard, mouse, and monitor; the location of your CPUs from your console; and the length of the cables you use to connect your computers to the KVM Switch.

Cautions and Warnings

Avoid having cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).
