Hardware Installation
Single Station Installation
In a single stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches daisy chained down from the KH1508Ai /
Ai. To set up a single stage installation (the numbers in the diagram correspond with the numbers of the
KH1516
instruction steps), and do the following:
1. Ground the KH1508
the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to the unit from surges or static
electricity.
2. Plug the console keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the unit’s console ports. The ports are color coded and
marked with icons for easy identification.
Note: You can use any combination of keyboard and mouse connections. For example, you can use a PS/2
keyboard with a USB mouse.
3. If you are using a laptop to control the KH1508Ai / KH1516Ai locally, use the Laptop USB Console Cable
included in the package to connect the laptop to the KH1508Ai / KH1516Ai’s Laptop USB Console port, located
on the unit’s front panel.
4. Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect any available KVM port to a KVM adapter cable that is appropriate for the
computer you are installing
Note: To support a resolution of 1280x1024@75Hz, the recommended maximum distance between the unit and
the KVM adapter cable is 50 meters; to support a resolution of 1600x1200@60Hz, the recommended
maximum distance is 40 meters.
5. Connect the KVM adapter cable to the computer.
Plug the connectors on the KVM adapter cable into the appropriate ports of the computer you are installing.
6. Plug the LAN or WAN cable into the KH1508
7. Plug the female end of the power cord into the KH1508
