Multi-Head Units:
1. Ensure that power is turned off or disconnected from the unit and the computers.
2. Use DVI cables to connect the DVI output ports of each computer to the corresponding DVI-I IN ports of
the unit. For example, if using SDVN-4Q, the four DVI ports of one computer must all be connected to one
channel.
The DVI-I IN ports on one row will be switched to the DVI-I OUT of the same row.
6. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse in the two USB console ports.
7. Optionally connect stereo speakers to the AUDIO OUT port of the unit.
8. Optionally connect CAC (smart card reader) to the CAC port in the user console interface.
9. Power on the KVM by connecting a 12VDC power supply to the power connector, and then turn on all the
computers.
Note: VGA-to-DVI adapter must be used if video input sources are analog. Also, if the monitors
connected to the outputs are dual-link DVI monitors, then DVI-I cables must be used from each
computer.
Note: The computer connected to port 1 will always be selected by default after power up.
The DVI-I IN connectors that belong to the same channel are arranged vertically.
3. Use a USB cable (Type-A to Type-B) to connect a USB port on each computer to the respective USB ports
of the unit.
4. Optionally connect a stereo audio cable (3.5mm on both ends) to connect the audio output of the
computer to the AUDIO IN ports of the unit.
5. Connect the monitors to the DVI-I OUT console ports of the unit using DVI cables.

EDID Learn:
The KVM is designed to learn the connected monitor’s EDID upon power up. In the event of connecting a
new monitor to the KVM, a power recycle is required.

The monitor must be connected to the video output connector located in the console space at the back of
the KVM during the EDID learn process.
If the read EDID from the connected monitor is identical to the current stored EDID in the KVM then the
EDID learn function will be skipped.

SINGLE-HEAD MODE KM SWITCHING
In addition to traditional channel switching by buttons located on the front panel, KM also supports cursor
control of selected channels. This technology allows seamless switching between computers by moving the
mouse cursor from one display to another. Users can effortlessly switch computers for faster productivity.
1. KM functionality for KVM devices is only available once the device has been put into KM mode,
refer to admin tool guide for detail.
2. When the device is placed into KM mode, it will behave identically to the KM models of the product.
3. The major difference when the device is placed into KM mode is that cursor control of selected
channels is available as an additional method to switch the connected computer.
4. Figure 10-1 below shows how this functionality works.
