Single Level Installation
In a single level installation, there are no additional KVM switches cascaded
from the first-level KVM switch. To set up a single level installation, refer to
the diagram on page 18 and do the following:
1. Plug a keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the KH2508 / KH2516’s
Console 1 ports. Each port is color coded and marked with an identifying
icon. A second keyboard, monitor, and mouse can be connected to the
KH2508 / KH2516’s Console 2 ports.
2. Plug the KVM adapter cable connectors into the appropriate ports of the
computer you are installing. (See KVM Adapter Cable Installation
Diagrams, page 19 for connection examples.)
3. Use Cat 5e cable to connect a compatible KVM adapter cable to any
available KVM port on the KH2508 / KH2516. (Repeat steps 2 and 3 for
all computers that you wish to connect. Up to 8 or 16 computers may be
connected in this fashion.)
Note: The distance between any KVM adapter cable and switch must not
exceed 40 m (130 feet).
4. Plug the power cord into the KH2508 / KH2516's power socket first, then
plug the power cord into an AC power source.
5. Turn on the power to the KH2508 / KH2516.
After the KH2508 / KH2516 is powered up, you can turn on the computers.
