2.3 Connecting your devices

Ensure that the power is disconnected from the LINDY CPU Switch and all devices which are to be attached. Connect any keyboards, monitors and mice to the user port connectors at the rear of the LINDY CPU Switch (see figure 2). The individual connectors are colour coded for your convenience. If you are connecting several KVM (Keyboard, Video monitor, Mouse) sets then you do not need to use the same brands or mix of devices on each user port.

Next connect each computer system unit in turn with the keyboard cable, mouse cable and video cable. LINDY 3-in-1 keyboard/video/mouse cables are recommended for maximum convenience and video quality. Remember that the video quality is maximised if the cables are kept as short as possible. Where possible, 2 metre cables are recommended as these will give very high video quality. Any unused computer connections can be left unconnected. To connect computers with serial mouse connections and AT style keyboard connections use the adapters specified in appendix A. If you have an existing 6-pin mini-DIN to 9-pin serial adapter that came with a mouse it may not be suitable for use with the LINDY CPU Switch as the are several different standard wiring configurations for these adapters. Suitable serial adapters are available from LINDY (see appendix A)

The LINDY CPU Switch is now ready for connection to the mains using the mains power adapter supplied. It is important to apply power to the LINDY CPU Switch first, then power on the monitor and each of the computers in turn. Failure to switch the LINDY CPU Switch and computers on in the correct order can lead to the mouse and/or keyboard not being recognised by the computers when they are switched on. There is no ON/OFF switch and the LINDY CPU Switch will start to operate as soon as the power is applied.
