The 2- or 4-Port ServSwitch—DT Basic 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?

Do not place cables near machines that create electrical noise such as
fluorescent lighting, air conditioning equipment, etc.
