Connecting a Local Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor
SVxx41HDIE has the capability to connect a local keyboard, mouse, and monitor to
the host computer for maintenance and monitoring, allowing users to physically use
the host computer as though SVxx41HDIE were transparent. If needed, the unit can be
run through a typical KVM switch like any other computer. Using a KVM cable, you can
connect the Server Remote Control’s host computer inputs to the “console” connectors
on a KVM switch allowing you to control more than one computer remotely using a
single Server Remote Control. If cascading, the SVxx41HDIE can only be the Master.
Consult the documentation that came with the other KVM switches for more details on
how to make the necessary connections.
To connect console devices:
1. Connect a standard PS/2 keyboard to the Local Keyboard port on 1. the rear panel of
the KVM switch.
2. Connect a standard PS/2 mouse to the Local Mouse port on the rear 2. panel of the
KVM switch.
3. Connect a SVGA-compliant monitor to the Local Video port on the 3. rear panel of
the KVM switch.
4. Power on the KVM switch.
