1. Turn off your computer. You should always turn off your computer before
connecting or disconnecting a device.
2. Connect the video (VGA) connector of the KVM cable to the video card connector
on the rear panel of your computer.
3. Identify and connect the PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard connector to the correct
PS/2 ports on the rear panel of your computer.
4. Connect the AC power cord to the power inlet on the console and then to a power
outlet.
3.3 Turning on the Console
Make sure all cables and the power cord are connected properly. Be sure to tighten all
connector screws. Using two hands, grasp the rear of the console, lift the tab and pull
the panel up and forward. This will disengage the momentary on/off switch and the
unit should power on. The LED on the left or under of the monitor panel should turn
from orange to green, verifying that the unit is operational.
3.4 Testing the Console
To test that the console is working properly, perform the following steps:
1. Power up the console, and then turn on your computer.
2. Make sure the video image is centered within the screen area. Use the OSD
controls to adjust the image (see note below) or press the Auto button on the right
hand side of the monitor.
If the unit does not power up when the panel is pulled up, try pushing
the soft power on/off button on the left or under side of the monitor
panel to power up the unit.
