Out-of-the-box Installation

Step 1. Make sure (at least the PS/2) computers that are to be
connected to the KVM switch are powered off. If not,
power them off before you proceed with the following
steps.
Step 2. Connect the shared keyboard, mouse and monitor to the
console connectors on the rear of your (master) KVM
switch. Power on the KVM Switch by attaching the
power adapter cord.
Step 3. Use the daisy-chain cable (M-HDB15-HDB15-F) to
connect the DaisyChain Out Port (HDB 15 female) of
the master KVM Switch to the DaisyChain IN Port (HDB
15 male) of the second KVM switch. Connect the power
adapter cord to the second switch to power it on.
Step 4. If you have yet another switch to be daisy-chained, just
repeat Step 3 to connect them. You can daisy-chain up
to 16 units of KVM switches. Plug a terminator onto
the Daisy-chain Out Port of the last KVM switch unit.
Step 5. (Now your KVM switch or daisy-chained KVM Switches
should have been powered-up and initialized....)
Connect each of your computers to a computer port on
the rear of the switch(es). You should use the special
USB PS/2 KVM cable (C-KVM-SC6/10/15) either for
connection to a USB computer or a PS/2 computer.
