III. Installation
Important: Before beginning installation, power OFF all devices and ensure that all devices are properly grounded. Failure to do so may result in dam-
age to computers and/or to the SwitchMan unit. Note: Avoid placing cables near machines such as fluorescent lighting, air conditioning equipment, etc,
that create electrical noise. For USB computers: USB signals are the strongest when transmitted up to 15 feet (4.5m) between the KVM and the CPU.
Beyond 15 feet (4.5m), probability of signal degradation can occur, causing the device to fail.
