3.4 Connecting Power

Once you’ve installed your ServSwitch Duo and attached your equipment to it, you can plug its power supply into the jack on the back of the Switch, then attach the input cord to the power-supply transformer’s IEC 320 inlet, then plug the input cord into utility (mains) power. (Always apply power to the ServSwitch Duo first, then power on the monitor and each of the computers; if you power up the computers before the Switch, the computers might not recognize the presence of the mouse or keyboard.) The Switch should start operating immediately; it has no ON/OFF switch.
