Hardware Installation
1. Connect a VGA monitor into the Console’s VGA connector; plug a USB keyboard and
a USB mouse into the dedicated USB keyboard and mouse ports on the KVM switch.
If using audio, also connect speakers with 3.5mm mini-jack plugs.
2. Use a male-to-male VGA video cable to connect the VGA connector on the
computer’s video card, to the VGA ports for one of the KVM’s PC ports (i.e. PC1).
3. Use a USB type A-B Cable to connect the KVM’s USB port (type B, square connector)
for the PC port used in Step 2, and the USB port on the computer (type A, at
connector). If using audio, connect 3.5mm mini-jack cables from the PC port to the
sound card.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each PC port on the KVM switch, or each computer you
wish to use on the KVM.
OPTIONAL: Connect any other USB peripherals you wish to share between the
connected computers/devices to the extra USB Hub port on the Console side.
5. Connect the external power adapter from a wall outlet to the power connector on
the rear panel of the KVM switch.
6. Power up the rst computer/device and wait for it to fully boot and test keyboard/
mouse functionality.
7. Once operation has been successfully conrmed, switch to the next port and power
up that computer/device and conrm.
8. Once completed for all computers/devices connected to the KVM switch, you
should be able to switch between ports freely.
Driver Installation
No driver installation is required for the KVM switch, as the keyboard/mouse use USB
drivers that are already installed on any operating system that fully supports USB.
