Basic Operation

Opening the Console KVM

The console is located under the top cover. To access the con-

sole, slide the console module out and raise the cover.

Note:As a safety precaution, to keep the console from accidentally sliding out, the

console is locked into the In position. Before you can pull the console module out,

you must release it by pushing the catches on the unit’s front panel toward the cen-

ter of the switch.

Closing the Console KVM

To slide the console module back in, close the cover and do

the following:

1. Pull the safety catches on the unit’s side rails toward you

and push the module in until it stops.

2. Release the catches; pull the module slightly toward

you; then push it all the way in.

Note:The reason for the two-step procedure is to minimize the chances of

pinching your fingers when sliding the module in.

Port Selection

The KVM switches provide three port selection methods to access the computers on the installation:

Manual; OSD (On Screen Display) menus, and Hotkey.

Manual Port Switching

• Press a switch to bring the KVM focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.

• Press buttons 1 & 2 simultaneously for two seconds to perform a keyboard and mouse reset.

• Press buttons 7 & 8 (B020-008/B020-008-17) or 15 & 16 (B020-016/B020-016-17) simultaneously

for two seconds to invoke Auto Scan Mode (see p. 12).
