NTI KEEMUX Series PS/2 KVM Switch

INSTALLATION

Prepare To Connect

1.Before connecting the KEEMUX to the CPUs, make sure all CPUs, the monitor, and the KEEMUX are turned OFF.

! WARNING! DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE CPU IF POWER IS NOT DISCONNECTED BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING CABLES.

2.The dip-switches on the front panel are configurable for several tasks. Switches 1-6 are used for cascading actions (see CASCADING on page 5) and switches 7 and 8 are for keyboard configuration. These keyboard configuration switches come pre-configured with both in the “OFF” position. Do not change these settings, as this will cause the PS/2 keyboard to not work.

FYI: Should switch 7 or 8 get changed to the “ON” position, it will be necessary to power-down the entire system (including CPUs), change the dip-switches back to the “OFF” position, and then power the system back up. If it is necessary to replace one PS/2 keyboard with another one, the keyboard can be hot-swapped without powering-down. Refer to Fig. 1 for instructions on proper keyboard dip-switch configuration.
