6 QUADRAVISTA INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
Installing the Computers
Connect up to four computers to the corresponding video (DVI-I), keyboard/mouse ports on the
QuadraVista as shown in Figure 4. It is recommended that the computers being connected and
QuadraVista be powered off until all cable connections have been made.
Connect a computer's video output port (DVI or VGA) to the QuadraVista's DVI-I connector for
computer #1. If a VGA (HD15F) connector is on the computer, a VGA to DVI cable must be used.
Next connect a USB cable from the computer's keyboard/mouse USB port to the QuadraVista's
USB input port. If the keyboard and mouse ports on the computer are PS/2, use a PS/2 "Y" cable
to connect from the computer's keyboard and mouse PS/2 ports to the PS/2 keyboard/mouse
input port on the QuadraVista.
Connect computer #2, #3, and #4 to the corresponding connectors on the QuadraVista's rear
panel. You are not limited in using the CPU ports to connect to a computer. The CPU port can
also be connected to a Rose KVM switch’s KVM port. This can provide access to as many as
1,000 computers or servers. The DVI video input can accept any analog or digital video signal
from devices like surveillance cameras, a DVD player, or other compatible video sources and
display it on your KVM monitor.
When all cable connections have been made, turn the power on to the QuadraVista and the
computers. All six front panel LEDs will flash momentarily, then the green QUAD led will light
indicating that the unit is ready for operation and the user monitor will display in the Quad mode,
showing all four computers video. If only two video sources are connected, quadrant 3 and 4 will
be blank.
