READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE GEFEN 8X1 DVI KVM DL/SL SWITCHER
The 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher will take any of up to eight (8) DVI dual-•
link or single-link resolution inputs and switch them, one at a time, to a DVI
output device such as a display/monitor or projector. Resolutions can be up
to 3840x2400.
The 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher is housed in a metal box for better RF •
shielding.
Computers must be turned on one at a time and the switcher must be •
selected to the computer that is booting up. After one computer completes
the startup process, you can boot up the second computer and repeat the
process with the remaining computers. This can be avoided with the use
of a EDID storage device (DVI DETECTIVE; part# EXT-DVI-EDIDN) that
will constantly supply each computer with an EDID. In this scenario, each
computer must have a detective placed between itself and the switcher.
Then, each computer can boot up in any order and at anytime, regardless of
which computer the switch is selected to.
