3.Plug the AC Power Adapter into the 8-Station KVM Switch’s power port, then plug the AC Power Adapter into an AC power source.
4.Power on the connected PC(s).
Two Stage Installation
To control up to 64 PCs through the 8-Station KVM Switch, you will need to connect eight additional 8-Station KVM Switches to your first 8-Station KVM Switch. This is the Two Stage Installation process. It will create 64 open ports for controlling PCs. A table showing the relation between the number of com- puters and the number of 8-Station KVM Switches needed to control them is provided in the Appendix.
NOTE: Daisy-chaining different models of KVM Switches can cause problems with Hotkey and OSD port switching. To prevent this, only use ProConnect® 8-Station KVM Switches when daisy-chaining them together.
ProConnect® 8-Station KVM Switch
1.Using one 8-Station KVM Switch as a Primary unit and the other eight 8- Station KVM Switches as Secondary units, use a Cabling Kit to connect the Console ports of the Secondary Units to the CPU ports of the Primary unit. In this way, the 64 CPU ports of the Secondary units are available through the Primary unit.
2.Connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse ports of your PC(s), up to 64, to a CPU port in one the Secondary units with a Cabling Kit.
3.Plug the AC Power Adapters into the 8-Station KVM Switches’ power ports, then plug each AC Power Adapter into an AC power source.
4.Power on the connected PC(s).
Three Stage Installation
To control the maximum number of PCs under the Three State Installation, you will need to connect eight additional 8-Station KVM Switches to your first 8- Station KVM Switch and each of those eight additional 8-Station KVM Switches will need eight 8-Station KVM Switches connected to them, as shown in the diagrams on the following pages. This is the Three Stage Installation process. It will create 512 open ports for controlling PCs. A table showing the relation between the number of computers and the number of 8- Station KVM Switches needed to control them is provided in the Appendix.
NOTE: Daisy-chaining different models of KVM Switches can cause problems with Hotkey and OSD port switching. To prevent this, only use ProConnect® 8-Station KVM Switches when daisy-chaining them together.
