Hardware Installation
NOTE: Prior to the installation, please power off all devices that will be connected to
this system.
1. Place the KVM switch in close proximity to the keyboard, mouse, and monitor(s) you
wish to use as the console controls.
2. Connect the USB keyboard, mouse, speakers and microphone (if applicable) to the
KVM switch.
3. Connect the DVI monitor into the Console’s DVI connector.
4. Connect the VGA monitor into the Console’s VGA connector.
OPTIONAL: Connect any other USB peripheral you wish to share between the
connected computers/devices to the extra USB Hub port on the Console side.
5. Use male-to-male video cables to connect the DVI and VGA connectors on the
computer’s video card, to the DVI and VGA ports for one of the KVM’s PC ports (i.e. PC1).
NOTE: Do not mix different types of DVI cables (DVI-I, DVI-D) on the same KVM switch.
6. Use a USB type A-B Cable to connect the KVM’s USB port (type B, square connector)
for the PC port used in the previous step, and the USB port on the computer (type A,
flat connector). If using audio, connect 3.5mm mini-jack cables from the PC port to
the sound card.
NOTE: DVI + USB + Audio KVM combo cables are also available which can be used
in place of separate individual cables (e.g. StarTech.com ID: DVI4N1USB6).
7. Repeat the previous two steps for each PC port on the KVM switch, or each
computer you wish to use on the KVM switch.
8. Connect the external power adapter from a wall outlet to the power connector on
the rear panel of the KVM switch.
9. Power up the first computer/device and wait for it to fully boot and test keyboard/
mouse functionality.
Driver Installation
No driver installation is required for the KVM switch, as the keyboard/mouse use USB
drivers that are already installed on any operating system that fully supports USB.
