Introduction
Overview
The KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 Matrix KVM Switch gives IT
administrators in large corporations advanced access and control of multiple
servers. Operators working at up to 5 (KM0532) or 9 (KM0932) keyboard,
mouse, and monitor (KVM) consoles can simultaneously and independently
take direct control of up to 32 computers. With a combination of daisy chaining
and cascading, up to 9 consoles can access and control more than 8,000
computers from the first level KM0932 Matrix KVM Switch.
The Matrix KVM Switch product lineup consists of three basic model
shown in the table, below:
Model Consoles Power
KM0032 0* Dual
KM0532 5 Dual
KM0932 9 Dual
* The KM0032 can only operate as units cascaded/daisy-chained to a KM0532
or KM0932, and devices connected to KM0032 units are accessed through a
console connected to the KM0532 or KM0932 unit.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed. The Matrix KVM switches feature a Console Module and KVM
Adapter Cable design with automatic console conversion that allows any
combination PS/2 and USB consoles to control any combination of P S/2, USB,
or Sun computers.
The RJ-45 port connectors, combined with Auto Signal Compensation
provide full, non-blocked access to servers and deliver secure real-time, high
bandwidth video up to 1,000 feet away, with automatic compensation for any
video loss induced by cabling, thereby eliminating the need for KVM
extenders.
Operating over end-to-end UTP cabling allows the installation to
advantage of the internal CAT 5e and CAT6 wiring built in to most modern
commercial buildings.

Hardware Setup
Overview
For convenience and flexibility, the KM0532 / KM0932’s design utilizes
console modules that act as signal translation intermediaries between the KVM
co nsoles and the KVM swit ch. This a llows PS/2 and U SB interface consoles to
coexist on the same installation.
The design also uses KVM
adapter cables, that serve as intermediaries between
the KVM switch and the computers, and provides the basis for multiplatform
support:

1. Important safety information regarding the placement of this
device is provided on page 175. Please review it before
proceeding.
2. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting
up has been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any
computers that have the Keyboard Power On function.
Before you Begin
Stacking and Rack Mounting
The KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 can be stacked on the desktop or rack
mounted in a variety of ways. The following sections take you through the
procedures for each method.
Stacking
The KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 can be placed on any appropriate level
surface that can safely support its weight plus the weight of its attached cables.
To place the switch, or to stack units if you are daisy chaining them, remove
the backing material from the bottom of the rubber feet that came with this
package, and stick them onto the switch’s bottom panel at the corners, as
shown in the diagram, below:
Note: To ensure adequate ventilation, allow at least 5.1 cm on each side, and
12.7cm at the back for power cord and cable clearance.
