(F1DS102Jea or F1DS104Jea)
Installing the KVM Switch
The KVM Switch is a plug-and-play device for installation. For a quick start on installation
and operation, please follow the instructions below for the setup sequence:
NOTE: If you are using a PS/2 computer: Please make sure that all of your PS/2 computers are powered
off before connecting to the KVM Switch. Otherwise, the KVM Switch system might not be properly set up.
However, USB computers do not have this limitation.
Step 1.
Connect the shared keyboard, mouse,
and monitor to the console port on the
rear of the KVM Switch.
Step 2.
Connect each of your computers to a
computer port on the rear of the KVM
Switch. You should use the special
USB PS/2 KVM cable (with the USB-to-
PS/2 adapter) for connection to a USB
computer (PS/2 computer).
NOTE: The special KVM cable provides a PS/2 keyboard connector, a USB connector, and an HDB video
connector for the computer connection. When connecting to a USB computer, just plug the USB connector
to it and leave the PS/2 connector dangling free. When connecting to a PS/2 computer, just add one USB-
to-PS/2 adapter to the USB connector and you'll have a PS/2 connector for the mouse. Do NOT connect
the USB connector and the PS/2 keyboard connector to a computer at the same time.
Step 3.
The monitor and KVM must be powered up first. Then, power up the connected
computers. After your computer is powered up, the keyboard and mouse will be
recognized and you can begin using the KVM Switch.
