STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION GUIDE

Connecting the Computers to the KVM Switch

1.Boot up the computer you wish to connect via USB as you would normally with the USB keyboard, monitor, and USB mouse connected directly to the computer. Once the operating system has loaded, attach the male and female VGA KVM cable connectors to the Switch. Then attach the USB KVM cable connector to the back of the computer. The operating system will automatically install the Switch. Do this for all USB connections.

2.Shut down your computer. Take the two male VGA cable ends and connect them to the appropriate female VGA ports on the back of the computer. Connect the speaker audio connector to the computer’s audio-output port. Do the same for the microphone connection. Do this for all computers.
