Hardware Installation
Before installation, please make sure all of peripherals and computers have been turned off.
This example of installation is based on 8 port Rack Mount KVM Switch and you also can
think that 4 port Rack Mount KVM Switch and 16 port Rack Mount KVM Switch have the
same installation procedure.
Step 1
Find a convenient place to put your KVM Switch. Its 19” rack mount form factor makes it
ideal mountable on 19” rack. When mounting to a rack, attach the included brackets to the
sides of the KVM Switch. Take note of the length of your cables so that your computers,
KVM Switch, keyboard, mouse and monitor are distanced properly.

Step 2
Connect the monitor to the KVM Switch. Using the attached cable, or the one included with
your monitor, connect it to the HDDB-15 female port on the back of the KVM unit labeled
with the monitor symbol at the CONSOLE connector.
Step 3
Connect the keyboard to the KVM Switch. If you have an AT type keyboard, you will need
an AT to PS/2 adapter.
Step 4
Connect the mouse to the KVM Switch.
Step 5
Each PC port connector is HDDB-15 pin type. Locate your input cable. It will have a
HDDB-15 pin male connector at one end. Plug it into any label computer port on the rear
of KVM switch unit. The other end of input cable will have three connectors: a HDDB-15 pin
male type for PC video, a Mini Din 6 pin female type for keyboard and a Mini Din 6 pin
female type for mouse. To plug these three connectors into the respective ports of computer.
Repeat the same procedure to all of PCs.

Step 6 (Optional)

computer, and the other Mini Din 6 pin end to the mouse cable connector. If you need Serial
DB-9 to PS/2 Mini Din 6 pin adapter, please contact your supplier.
Step 7 (Optional)
If your computer has an AT type keyboard port (Din 5 pin), you will need a PS/2 to AT
keyboard adapter.
Step 8
Double-check all of the connections. You can check the color of keyboard and mouse
connector to make sure the keyboard and mouse cables go to the correct ports.
Step 10
Attach the power supply to the KVM unit and plug the other end into an electrical receptacle.
Now you will see the LED for Port 1 light up, and you will hear a beep. Switch on your
monitor.
NOTE:
Please be remind to plug in power adapter. Although the PCs connected to KVM Switch
are able to support enough power to the stand alone switch, KVM Switch still needs a
power adapter for daisy chain more banks. If you forgot to plug in power adapter on the
status of daisy chain, it may cause the unexpected status occurred.
