Hardware Installing the Hardware Before you begin, make sure that the KVM Switch and both PCs you will be connecting are turned OFF. 1. Find the set of connectors marked Console on the right face of the KVM Switch. Plug in your mouse, keyboard, and monitor here. 2. Connect the ends of the custom extender cable (included with the KVM Switch Kit) to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse ports of your first PC. If you need to use the adapters in order to connect the cable, use them on the PC end of the cable, not the switch end. See page 7 for more information about using the adapters. 3. Connect the other ends of the cable to the set of connectors marked PC 1 on the KVM switch. 4. Now connect your second PC (PC 2) using the other extender cable. 5. This step is optional: If you are using a DC power adapter, plug it into the KVM switch now. A power adapter is not required, and the KVM switch is not provided with one. The KVM switch automatically draws power from the PCs connected to it. If you have a special scenario which requires you to use a power adapter, you must purchase one from a computer hardware store. The power adapter should supply 5V DC and a minimum of 50mA of current. 8

Before you begin, make sure that the KVM
Switch and both PCs you will be connecting are
turned OFF.
1. Find the set of connectors marked
Console
on
the right face of the KVM Switch. Plug in your
mouse, keyboard, and monitor here.
2. Connect the ends of the custom extender cable
(included with the KVM Switch Kit) to the key-
board, monitor, and mouse ports of your first PC.
If you need to use the adapters in order to connect
the cable, use them on the PC end of the cable,
not the switch end. See page 7 for more informa-
tion about using the adapters.
3. Connect the other ends of the cable to the set of
connectors marked

This step is optional
: If you are using a DC
power adapter, plug it into the KVM switch now.
A power adapter is not required, and the KVM
switch is not provided with one. The KVM switch
automatically draws power from the PCs connect-
ed to it. If you have a special scenario which
requires you to use a power adapter, you must
purchase one from a computer hardware store.
The power adapter should supply 5V DC and a
minimum of 50mA of current.
