KVM Switches KVM0108A and KVM0116A User Manual10
To set up a Chained tiering installation:
1. Use a cable set to connect the Chain Out port of the parent KVM switch to the Chain In port of
the child KVM switch (first level out to second level in, second level out to third level in, etc.).
Note: 1. You cannot use the Chain In port of the First Level, since it is the highest
level (parent) switch.
2. Cable sets for chained tiering are purchased separately.
2. Connect the cables to the computers and the switch according to Single Level Installation (see
“Single Level KVM Switch Installation” on page 9).
3. Repeat the above steps for any other switches you want to add to the chain.
4. Power up the installation as follows:
a. Plug in the power cord for the first level switch. Wait for the unit to ascertain its Station ID
and display it on the Station ID LED (the Station ID for the first level unit is 01, the ID for
the second level unit is 02, the ID for the third level unit is 03, etc.).
b. Power on each level on the installation in turn (second level, then third level, etc.). In each
case, wait for the Station ID to be ascertained and displayed before powering on the next
level switch.
c. After all the KVM switches are up, power on the computers.
