The maximum number of servers that can be connected is eight.
(1) Connect the power cable (1) of the server to the power outlet. Make sure the server
power is left OFF.
(2) Connect the keyboard connector, the mouse connector, and the monitor connector of
the first server with dedicated cables (2) (must be ordered separately).
(3) Connect the connectors (3) on the other ends of the dedicated cables to the ports for
server connection on the KVM Switch.
(4) Perform the same connection procedure for the remaining servers (from the second
server to the eighth server). Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the
[CONSOLE] ports (4).
