For computers using serial mouse, connect the DB-9 to mini-DIN-6 adapter (supplied with the KVM Switch) to the computer mouse port, then use PS/2 cables to connect the mouse to KVM Switch, see figure 5. Connect the computer's monitor cable to the HD-DB-15 VGA connector. Repeat above steps for all remaining computers to be connected to the KVM Switch.

Initial Power-Up

Make sure all computers and KVM Switches are powered down during installation. You must power up the Master KVM Switch before turning on any other devices.

For single KVM Switch: 1) Apply a power adapter to the Master. 2) Turn on computers.

For cascade: 1) Apply a power adapter to the Master.

2)Apply power adapters to all Slaves. 3) Turn on computers.

Note: You may hot plug additional powered-down computer and Slave without turning any existing KVM Switch or computer off after initial power up.

Replace Master Console Devices

You can replace a faulty keyboard or mouse of the Master CONSOLE port at any time without powering down the Master, as long as your computers are booted with proper device driver for the new device. Should you encounter any difficulty, just activate K/M RESET by holding both front-panel1’ and ‘2’ push buttons down for 2 seconds.

Adhesive Rubber Foot

For desk-top operation, you may stick the four round rubber feet (supplied with the unit) to the bottom of the KVM Switch. NOTE: Do not use the rubber feet for rack mount operation. Give the rubber feet a firm press to prevent them from getting loose.
