Installation:
Make sure that power to all the devices (KVM Switch and PCs) you will be connecting up have been
turned off.
Single Station Installation
The most basic installation is a Single Stage installation, in which no additional KVMs are connected
to the first unit. To set up a single stage installation:
1. Plug the monitor, keyboard, and mouse into the Console ports
2. Use connector cable sets (listed in the Hardware Requirements section) to connect each PC’s
monitor, keyboard and mouse ports to one set of the KVM ports.
3. If you choose to use external power, connect the supplied adapter to the power socket on the KVM
switch and then plug the adapter into an AC power source. The unit is designed for non-powered
operation in a single stage installation (it draws power from the computers via the keyboard and
mouse cables). If a computer only supplies 3.3V of power for the keyboard and mouse instead of 5V
(as in the case of Notebooks), you will need to use the external power adapter.
Note: If you choose to use external power, the unit must be plugged in and receiving power prior to Step 4.
4. Turn on the power to the PCs.
Two-Stage Installation
Additional B007-008 KVMs can be connected to the CPU ports of the First Stage KVM to control
more CPUs. These cascaded KVMs are considered Second Stage units. As many as 64 PCs can be
controlled in a complete two-stage installation. A table showing the relationship between the number of
PCs and the number of KVMs needed to control them is provided in the Appendix.
To set up a two-stage installation, do the following:
1. All KVM Switches and PCs must be turned off – including preexisting devices on the installation.
2. Use a cable kit (see Hardware Requirements section) to connect the Console Port connectors of the
Second Stage KVM unit to any available CPU Port on the First Stage unit.
3. Use connector cable sets (see Hardware Requirements section) to connect the monitor, keyboard and
mouse ports of the PCs to any available CPU Port on the Second Stage unit
4. Plug the power adapter into the Power Jack on the second stage KVM and then plug the adapter into
an AC power source.
5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 for any other Second Stage units you wish to connect.
6. Plug in the power adapter for the First Stage KVM Switch unit and then plug the adapter into an AC
power source.
7. Connect any other CPUs to the remaining ports on the First Stage unit.
8. Turn on the power to all the connected PCs.
Note: The Power On sequence requires that all Second Stage units be powered on first (AC Adapter connected).
After all the Second Stage units have been powered on, then the First Stage unit must be powered on next
(AC Adapter connected). After the Second and First stage units have been powered on, the computers can be
powered on.
