Overview

The LINDY CPU Switch LITE allows you to access up to four PCs using one keyboard, monitor
and mouse. The keyboard and mouse connectors on the PCs both have to be PS/2 style. By
using this switch you can save on the additional cost of keyboards, monitors and mice. You will
also save on desk space and eliminate the problems of using the wrong keyboard or mouse and
all the trouble associated with this.

This unit is a pure hardware solution and will ther e fo r e work with a ll operating system s. This unit
does not require any software installation. You si mply connect the cables between the KVM
Switch LITE and your computers, and then turn on the computers.

The CPU Switch LITE supports two methods of switching between the connected computers: by
pressing the red push button, or via keyboard hotkeys.

The CPU Switch LITE emulates the keyboard and mouse connections for all connected PCs
permanently. This prevents error messages when switching between connected PCs.

FEATURES

• Supports monitor resolution up to 1920 x 1440

• Permanent keyboard and mouse emulation

• Supports PCs with PS/2 type connectors

• Serial Mice and connectors are NOT supported

• Runs with al l known operating systems

• Connection with standard LINDY cables for SVGA and PS/2

• No power supply required.

INSTALLATION

Before you start please switch off all the computers to be attached.
Apart from the PCs to be connected you will only need one keyboard, monitor, PS/2 mouse,

and the standard connection cables to connect the keyboard, monitor and mouse ports of your
PCs to the LINDY CPU Switch LITE. If some cables are not long enough we recommend that
the complete cable be replaced with a longer length rather than using extension cables.

Extension cables introduce additional plug to socket connections, which can affect the signal
quality, please, bear this in mind when using high resolutions or long distances.

Connect the keyboard, monitor and mouse directly to sockets of the LINDY CPU Switch LITE. If
your keyboard has a 5-pin DIN connector you can use a PS/2 adaptor (LINDY Art No. 70129) in
most cases this adaptor will work.

Serial Mice with 9 Way D or USB connectors are not supported and cannot be used.
Connect the PCs keyboard, monitor and mouse ports directly to the appropriate sockets on the
LINDY CPU Switch LITE labeled with the appropriate pictograms. Then connect the PC ports.
The mouse port on your PC must be a PS/2 type (6 pin Mini DIN socket).

When you have made all connections switch on the monitor first and then the PCs.
