Installation (see “Single Level KVM Switch Installation” on page 9).
3. Repeat the above steps for any other KVM switches you want to add to the chain.
4. Power up the installation as follows:
a. Plug in the power cord for the first level KVM switch. Wait for the KVM switch to
ascertain its Station ID and display it on the Station ID LED (the Station ID for the first
level is 01, the ID for the second level is 02, the ID for the third level is 03, etc.).
b. Power on each level on the installation in turn (second level, then third level, etc.). In each
case, wait for the Station ID to be ascertained and displayed before powering on the next
level switch.
c. After all the KVM switches are up, power on the computers.

Cable Length Considerations
Note: KVM server modules are also referred to as KVM adapter cables.
• Do not exceed 66 feet (20m) between the KVM switch and the local monitor.
• To support a resolution of 1280x1024, the recommended maximum distance between the
switch and the KVM server module is 164 feet (50m).
Hot Plugging
KVM Adapter Cable can be removed and added to the installation by unplugging and re-plugging their
cables without the need to shut down KVM switch.
Change KVM Switch positions by unplugging from the old parent KVM switch and plugging into a
new parent KVM switch. Afterwards, in order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, reset
the station ID. See “Reset Station IDs” on page 20.
Hot plugging KVM ports. After switching KVM ports, in order for the OSD menus to correspond to
the change, you may need to reconfigure the OSD information for the new port information. The settings
of the port name, operating system, and keyboard language will be restored to the KVM switch from
any previously used adapter cables after they are plugged in. See “F3: SET” on page 17 and see “F4:
ADM” on page 19 for port setting selections.
Note: 1. If a server operating system doesn't support hot plugging, this function may not
work properly.
2. Empty ports that previously were connected to an KVM Adapter Cable will retain their
prior configuration data.
Hot plugging console ports. The keyboard, monitor, and mouse can be hot plugged. When hot
plugging the mouse, however, be aware of the following:
KVM
• If you unplug the mouse (to reset the mouse, for example), you must use the same mouse when
you plug back in.
• If you plug in a different mouse, all the KVM switches
be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted (see “Powering Off and Restarting” on page 12).
• Some older operating systems may not support hot-plugging.
Note: If, after hot plugging or normal operation, there is no response to
keyboard and/or mouse input, perform a keyboard and mouse reset by pressing
in the Reset switch. See “Reset Switch” on page 5.
and all the server on the installation must
Powering Off and Restarting
12
If it becomes necessary to power off the KVM switch, or if the KVM switch loses power and
needs to be restarted, before starting it back up, follow these procedures to prevent possible
equipment issues:
1. Disconnect the Cat 5e/6 cable adapters (connecting the servers) from the back of the KVM
switch.
2. Wait 10 seconds then power the KVM switch on. If you have shut down more than one KVM
switch, power up the highest level first and work your way down to the lowest level. Wait for
each KVM switch to display its station ID on the front panel LED before powering on the next
one.
3. After power is on to all KVM switches, plug in the Cat 5e/6 cables or power the computers on.
Port ID Numbering
Each server on the installation is assigned a unique port ID. The port ID is a one or two segment
numbe
r that is
determined by the level and port number of the switch that is connected to the server.
The first segment represents the level of the switch, the second segment represents the number of the
port that the server is plugged into. For example, if a server is connected to KVM port 3 of a switch
that is in the 12th position of the tier, it would have a port ID of 12-03.
Note: Single digit numbers (1-9) have a preceding zero (0).
