How to Install your Switch2

Note: Before installing your Switch2, verify that your USB keyboard and mouse work properly
with your Mac mini and the other computer you will be connecting.

1. Connecting your Console to Switch2

1.1 Connect the video cable attached to your monitor
and connect it to the VGA port on the back of
your Switch2.
Note: If you are using a DVI monitor, you will
need to attach a VGA adapter to your monitor
cable before connecting it to Switch2.
1.2 Connect your keyboard and mouse cables to the
two USB ports on the back of your Switch2.
Note: If your mouse plugs into your keyboard, you
only need to connect your keyboard cable to Switch2.
You can connect a USB peripheral device to the
mouse port instead.
