Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your device, first secure the switch into your 19-inch rack using the provided rack-mount kit. Connect your local console (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) to the rear console ports. Use dedicated VGA and USB KVM cables to connect each computer to the corresponding host ports on the rear panel. Connect the included 9V power adapter to a stable power source and power on the unit.
Compatibility is broad for standard PC and server hardware, though users must ensure their infrastructure supports VGA and USB interfaces. For maintenance, keep the device in an environment with an operating temperature between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius and humidity levels below 90 percent. Periodically check that all cable connections are secure to prevent signal interference.
