1.Power down the computer to which the KVM Remote Control will be connected (host computer). If purchased, install the unit in your rack or cabinet following the instructions that came with the 1110EXTRACK (optional, not included).

2.If present, disconnect the existing monitor and PS/2 keyboard/mouse from the host computer.

3.Using the provided integrated KVM cable, locate the end with the male VGA (monitor) connector and connect it to the VGA-out connector on the back of the host computer.

4.Connect the PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors on the same end of the integrated KVM cable as the VGA connection you completed in the previous step.

5.Insert the connectors on the opposite end of the integrated KVM cable (video, keyboard, mouse) to the Video (IN), Host Keyboard, Host Mouse ports on the rear panel of the KVM Remote Control as appropriate.

6.Using a Category 5 Ethernet patch cable, connect the LAN connector on the rear panel of the SVxx41HDIE to a network data jack (usually on a hub, switch, router, or pre-wired wall jack).

7.Important: If you want to continue to use the host computer locally, skip step 9 and go directly to “Connecting a Local Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor” after completing step 9. Otherwise, complete steps 9 and 10 now and continue to Configuration Methods Explained.

9.Connect the power cord (provided) to an appropriate electrical outlet, plug the opposite end of the power cord into the AC/DC adapter, and plug the power connector into the DC-in port on the rear panel of the unit. The LED underneath the power connectors will be solid green when the unit is powered.

10.Power on the host computer.

NOTE: If you are using cables other than those provided in the KVM Remote Control package or branded by StarTech.com, ensure that the cables are of high quality and use the minimum possible distance necessary. Low quality or excessively long (particularly video) cables between the host computer and the Remote Control could degrade performance.

IMPORTANT: SVx41HDIE is convection-cooled. As such, please ensure the vents on both sides are unobstructed.
