Installation
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up have
been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that
have the Keyboard Power On function. Otherwise, the switch will receive
power from the computer.
2. To prevent damage to your equipment due to ground potential difference,
make sure that all devices on the installation are properly grounded.
Consult your dealer for technical details, if necessary.
Single Stage Installation
For an installation without cascading please use the following steps:
1. Connect the console cables to keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers and microphone.
2. Connect the PCs with the appropriate PC ports of the CPU Switch. Use the appropriate LINDY
systems cables as described before in chapter CABLES.
3. Connect the enclosed power supply to the mains and plug in its DC power cable to the CPU
Switch.
4. Switch on the CPU Switch.
The Switch now undergoes a short Power-On-Self-Test. If there is a problem the LEDs will flash
according to one of the following patterns:
LED Lighting Pattern Indication
ONLINE LEDs 1-8 flash simultaneously Internal RAM memory error
ONLINE LEDs 1-8 flash one after the other External RAM memory error
ONLINE LEDs 1-8 pairs flash: 1+2, then 3+4, then
5+6, then 7 + 8, one after the other pair.
ROM Test error
If any of these occur turn off the switch and then turn on again. If this does not help please
detach all cables from the rear side of the CPU Switch and turn off and switch on again. If the
error still is present please contact the LINDY support hotline or your local dealer.
