Thank you for purchasing this Belkin Secure DVI-I Dual-Head
KVM Switch (the Switch). This KVM Switch is designed for use in

computers running at different security levels. The Switch provides
the highest security safeguards and features that meet today’s IA
(information assurance) computing requirements.
This User Manual provides all the details you’ll need to install and
operate your new Switch, in addition to expert troubleshooting
advice—in the unlikely event of a problem.

OVERVIEW
SECTIONSTable of Contents 123456782
The Belkin Secure DVI-I Dual-Head KVM Switch is the most
advanced and secure commercially available KVM Switch available
today. Below is a summary of all the security features incorporated
into the Switch.
Dedicated Processors
The Switch features a dedicated processor per computer port. This
keeps each computer running on different security levels physically
separated and secure at all times, and prevents any unintended data
leakage between computers.
No Memory Buffer
The Switch does not have a memory buffer and does not have the
ability to store data. This prevents any keystrokes or other data
input from being unintentionally transferred as you switch between
computers, ensuring the integrity of your data.
Non-Reprogrammable Firmware
The Switch features custom firmware that is not reprogrammable,
preventing the ability to tamper with the KVM logic.
Unidirectional Data Paths
Optical diodes used in USB data paths provide high isolation and
prevent data leakage.
Solid-Aluminum, Uni-Body Enclosure
The one-piece aluminum enclosure reduces the entry points into
the Switch’s electronics and minimizes radiated signals that can be
snooped or intercepted.
Active Anti-Tamper Triggers
Active chassis anti-tamper triggers prevent KVM electronics from
being accessed and tampered with.
Tamper-Evident Tape
A holographic security tamper-evident label is placed on the
enclosure to provide a visual indication if the Switch has been opened
or compromised.

Tamper-Proof Hardware
All integrated circuits are soldered directly to the printed circuit board
to prevent tampering with the components.
Protected Display Information
Protected DDC/EDID emulation prevents software weaknesses that
can cause data leakage while maintaining compatibility with the
console display.
USB Device Detection
Storage and other unsafe USB devices are rejected when connected
to the Switch. Only mouse and keyboard data are passed through.
Secure Packaging
“Tear away” packaging ensures secure delivery of the Switch as it is
routed to the end user.
NIAP Listing
The Switch is listed by the National Information Assurance Partnership
(NIAP). It is NIAP Common Criteria validated to EAL 2+ (Evaluation
Assurance Level 2).
