3.1 ServSwitch Placement
The 2- or 4-Port ServSwitch—DT Basic with Audio is small, portable, and designed
to fit on or under a desktop. Consider the following when deciding where to place
the KVM switch:
• How long are the cables attached to your keyboard, mouse, and monitor?
• How far away are the computers from the console?
• How long are the cables you use to connect your computers to the ServSwitch?
Do not place cables near machines that create electrical noise such as
fluorescent lighting, air conditioning equipment, etc.
