  1. Plug your keyboard, mouse, speakers and microphone into the console USB speaker and microphone ports located on the unit's rear panel.
  2. Plug your console monitor into the VGA console port located in the unit's rear panel and power on the monitor.
  3. Using the custom KVM cable set (provided with this package), plug the custom SPHD connector into any available socket in the KVM port section of the switch
  4. At the other end of the cable, plug the USB, audio and VGA connectors into their respective ports on the computer.
  5. If you fi nd the power is insuffi cient, please use an external power adapter. Please contact your dealer to purchase the correct one for your model.
  6. Turn on the power to the computers.

Operation

The CS72U / CS74U features a convenient method to access the computers through Manual switching – which involves pressing the port selection pushbuttons located on the unit's front panel.

For manual port selection:
Press and release a port selection pushbutton to bring the KVM focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port. The Port LED lights bright green.

Note: Do not connect a KVM Extender to the KVM Switch to extend the distance as doing this deteriorates the video quality.
