Installation

8Connect a DVI cable to the DVI B port on the back of the KVM, and then into a

DVI port on the computer being added to the installation. Note: The B004-2DUA2-K and B004-2DUA4-K come with 6 ft. DVI-D Dual Link Cables. If you need a longer cable, you will have to purchase a separate P560-Series (DVI-D Dual-Link) or P561-Series (DVI-D Single-Link) cable of the appropriate length.

9Repeat steps 6 through 8 for each additional computer you are adding to the installation.

10Connect the included power supply to the KVM switch, and then plug it into an appropriate power source. To help protect your system from sudden transient increases and decreases in electrical power, it is recommended that you plug your devices into a Tripp Lite surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

11Turn on the power to all connected devices.
