III. Installation
Important: Before beginning installation, power OFF all devices and ensure that all devices are properly grounded. Failure to do so may result in damage to computers and/or to the SwitchMan unit. Note: Avoid placing cables near machines such as fluorescent lighting, air conditioning equipment, etc, that create electrical noise. For USB computers: USB signals are the strongest when transmitted up to 15 feet (4.5m) between the KVM and the CPU. Beyond 15 feet (4.5m), probability of signal degradation can occur, causing the device to fail.
Connecting the Console
These step numbers correspond with the diagram numbers, below.
Please power OFF all computers before you start.
1.Connect your USB keyboard and mouse directly to the USB keyboard and mouse console ports on the front panel of the SwitchMan unit.
2.Connect the male VGA connector (HDDB-15 pin) from your monitor to the console VGA port on the rear panel of the SwitchMan unit.
3.If using speakers, connect the male 3.5mm plug to the SPEAKER (green) port on the rear panel of the SwitchMan unit.
4.If using a microphone, connect the male
3.5mm plug to the MIC (pink) port on the rear panel of the SwitchMan unit.
