Chapter 3: Installation
3. Installation
PC BIOS NOTE: The following BIOS setup changes are required for PC users but
not required for Mac users.
1. In STANDARD CMOS, set HALT ON ERROR to ALL BUT KEYBOARD.
2. In PNP and PCI SETUP, set PNP OS INSTALLED to YES and set USB IRQ to
ENABLED.
NOTE: The KV9612A and KV9614A are set to switch USB keyboard and mouse
signals from one computer to another. If you plan to share other periph-
erals such as a CCD camera, printer, or scanner, you must shut down the
computer’s driver before switching to another computer. Because port
switching is equivalent to unplugging the USB cable from one computer
and plugging it into another computer, some USB drivers check the
attached USB peripherals all the time and are not plug-n-play.
3.1 ServSwitch Placement
The 2- or 4-Port ServSwitch DT Series USB/DVI/Audio KVM Switch is small, por-
table, and designed to fit on 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 are the computers from the console?
• How long are the cables you use to connect your computers to the
ServSwitch?
CAUTION: Do not place cables near machines that create electrical noise such
as fluorescent lighting, air conditioning equipment, etc.
