Software Installation
The KVM switch oers optional switching software to switch between the connected
PCs with a single click.
Supported operating systems: Windows® 8 / 8.1 (32/64-bit), 7 (32/64), Vista (32/64),
XP (32/64), Mac OS 10.3 and up (Tested up to 10.10)
Note: The KVM also supports switching through the physical select button on the
front of the unit and through hotkeys on any platform.
1. Open a web browser and navigate to startech.com/Downloads
2. Enter the SKU “SV231DPU2” and download the software.
3. Browse to the location that you saved the le and run the Setup.exe (Windows) /
USB KVM.dmg (Mac OS) application.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
4. OPTIONAL: Connect any other USB peripheral you wish to share between the
connected computers to the USB Hub port on the front.
5. Power up the rst computer/device and wait for it to fully boot and test keyboard/
mouse functionality.
6. Once operation has been successfully conrmed, switch to the next port and power
up that computer/device and conrm.
7. Once completed for both computers/devices connected to the KVM switch, you
should be able to switch between ports freely.
Notes:
This DP KVM Switch does not detect the power status of the connected systems, so
switching to a computer that is turned o will result in no display on the monitor.
It is recommended to use the same resolution for both connected systems where
possible, to avoid the screen resolution change when switching between ports.
Switch Between Computers
To switch between computers, do any of the following:
• Press the PC Select button on the KVM switch.
• Download the switching software and use it on your computer to switch between
the connected computers.
• Use hotkey switch commands. Note: Hotkey switch commands are only supported
on computers running Windows.
