Warning:Prior to installation, please ensure that all computers and KVM switch(es) are powered
down.
Device Connection
SV831DUSB and SV1631DUSB are designed to use both USB and PS/2 console connections, and
are equipped with a slide switch console selector used for the selection of USB or PS/2 modes.
There are three connection patterns that correspond with the slide switch as follows:
1. PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse: A PS/2 Y-connector (provided) will be required for this
connection, as illustrated in Fig. 1-1.
2. PS/2 Keyboard and USB Mouse: Slide switch set to the center position as depicted in Fig. 1-2

3. USB Keyboard and USB Mouse: Slide switch set to the far right position as depicted in Fig. 1-3
Please note: When configuring the switch as a Slave in a cascaded configuration, PS/2
Keyboard and Mouse is the only mode that can be used. As such,
SV431DUSB cannot be configured as a slave in a cascaded setup, as it
does not provide a slide switch selector.
Single KVM switch configuration - Connecting Computers to the console
USB Only
To connect a computer controlled by USB peripherals, use a 1-to-2 cable (SVECONUSx)
to connect from one of the PC Ports located on the rear panel of the KVM switch to the
USB and Video ports on the computer, as indicated in Fig. 1-4.

PS/2 Only
To connect a computer controlled by PS/2 peripherals, use a 1-to-3 cable (SVECONx) to
connect from one of the PC ports to the PS/2 keyboard and mouse, as well as the video
port of the computer.
Cascaded configurations
Please note: The master must have equal or more PC x ports than that of the slave. For
example, if an 8-port switch is the Master, an 8-port or 4-port switch can be a Slave, but
not a 16-port switch.
Please note: PS/2-only models can be cascaded with USB+PS/2 universal models.
Please note: To be used as Slaves in a cascaded configuration, the slide switch on
SV831DUSB or SV1631DUSB must be adjusted to PS/2 mode. Please refer to Figure
1-1.
The ports labelled PC 1 - PC 8 can be connected to either a computer or a Slave’s
CONSOLE port, as shown in Figure 1-6. The ports marked PC A - PC H can only be
connected to computers. Use only 1-to-3 (PS/2) cables to connect the Master’s PC ports
and Slave CONSOLE port, as shown in Figure 1-6:
Figure 1-6
Master
Slave

The maximum number of computers controlled by a Master/Slave configuration with all 8-
port units is 64, with 8 Slaves and each Slave connecting to 8 computers (as depicted in
Figure 1-7:
The maximum number of computers controlled in a Master/Slave configuration with all
16-port units is 136, with 8 units of 16-port Slaves (to PC 1 - PC 8) and each Slave
connected to 16 computers, plus 8 more computers connected directly to the Master (to
ports PC A - PC H):
After the connection has been completed, please re-activate the OSD menu to verify that
the Master recognizes the Slaves. A triangle mark () is placed next to the right of the
channel name indicating that the port is connected to a Slave, not a computer. A number
to the left of the triangle mark indicates the Slave model, i.e. ‘8’ for an 8-port switch.
