Basic Operation

Hot Plugging

B024-DUA8-SL and B024-DUA8-DL KVM Switches support hot plugging, allowing
components to be removed and reinstalled back into the installation by unplugging and
replugging their cables from the ports without needing to shut the unit down.
Hot Plugging KVM Ports
If changing computer positions, in order for the OSD menus to correspond to KVM
port changes, port names must be edited manually for the OSD to reflect the new port
information (see the F3 Set section of this manual for details).
Note: If the computer's operating system does not support hot plugging, this function may not
work properly
Hot Plugging Console Ports
The keyboard, monitor, and mouse can all be hot plugged.
When hot plugging the mouse:
• You may unplug and replug the mouse (to reset the mouse, for example), as long as
the same mouse is used.
• If plugging a different mouse, all computers in the installation must remain shut
down for 10 seconds, then restarted following the power up sequence described in
the installation section.
Note: If after hot plugging there is no response to keyboard and/or mouse input, perform a
keyboard and mouse reset by simultaneously pressing the 7 and 8 front panel pushbuttons.

Port Selection

The B024-DUA8-SL and B024-DUA8-DL KVM switches provide three port selection
methods to switch between computers on the installation: manual pushbuttons, OSD
(on-screen display), and keyboard hotkey commands. The manual pushbutton method
is as simple as pressing a pushbutton on the KVM's front panel that corresponds with
the port you want to switch to; press a pushbutton for two seconds to simultaneously
switch KVM, audio and USB, or press a pushbutton for less than two seconds to
switch only the KVM and audio. For OSD and keyboard hotkey commands, subsequent
sections of this manual provide greater detail on the operation of these methods, both
for port selection and other KVM functions.

Powering Off and Restarting

In the event the KVM switch needs to be powered off, follow the steps below:
1. Shut down all computers connected to the KVM switch.
2. Unplug the power supply from the KVM switch.
3. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the power supply back into the KVM switch.
4. Power on all connected computers.
Note: If there are multiple levels in the installation, all cascaded KVM switches and computers
must also be shut down and restarted. Power on the installation in the same order as described
in the installation instructions.
