600", "1024 x 768", "1152 x 864", "1280 x 1024", are deter- mined by the display card in your
computer.
2. Is interference signal appeared on LCD normal when shutting down the computer ?
In rare cases, interference may appear on the monitor. This may be caused by signal rate of
VGA card and is considered normal. The image quality can be improved by adjusting the
phase or pixel rate automatically or manually.

way is with Hot-key commands.

Solar systems, Linux, or even Macs by a single KVM switch. The KVM switches support
multi-platform operating systems including but not limited to DOS, Windows
95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, Linux, Solar and Mac OS.
7. Do I have to power down the KVM to add a new server ?
The KVM are hot-pluggable and allows servers or devices to be added or removed without
power down the switch, but components of connected devices, such as the servers, may not be
hot- pluggable. We suggest that turn off power to all devices before connecting them.
8. Why I can’t login with default password on KVM switch
The default username and password for the KVM switch is eight zeros - “00000000”.
Please check
i. The “Num lock” is not turned on. (for notebook type keyboard)
ii. The numeric (number) keys on the number pad are not accepted by KVM, only the main
number keys.
