11. KVM Switch Operation

Point Perform the EDID settings first.

When a monitor is connected to a KVM Switch for the first time, the Plug and Play data (EDID data) must be set. After performing the EDID data settings, the connected monitor can be used in a suitable environment by restarting the server. In addition, because the set EDID data is emulated for all of the ports, even if a server is started without any selected ports, the connected monitor can still be used in a suitable environment.

For details about EDID settings, refer to [11-1-4 Plug and Play Data (EDID Data) Settings].
