9KVM Switches KVM0108A and KVM0116A User Manual
Single Level KVM Switch Installation
In a single level installation, there are no additional KVM switches tiered from the KVM switch. See
“Cable Length Considerations” on page 11 for cable length requirements.
1. Plug the console keyboards, monitors and mice into the switch's console ports. The ports are
color coded and marked with icons for easy identification.
Note: 1. Any combination of keyboard and mouse connections can be used. For
example, a PS/2 keyboard can be used with a USB mouse.
2. Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect any available KVM port to a KVM server module that is
appropriate for the computer you are installing (see“KVM Server Modules and cables” on
page 4).
3. Plug the connectors on the KVM Adapter Cable into the appropriate server ports.
4. Plug the supplied power cords into the switch's power sockets, then into an AC power source.
5. Turn on the servers.

Tiering multiple KVM switches
To control even more computers, up to 31 additional KVM switches can be tiered from the original
KVM switch. As many as 512 computers can be controlled from a single console in a complete
installation.
See “Connection Tables” on page 34 for a list of switches that can be installed on a tiered
installation and to see the relationship between the number of computers and the number of
KVM switches needed to control them.
