Installation
PC BIOS Notice: The following BIOS setup changes are necessary for PC users but are not required for Mac users:
1. In STANDARD CMOS, set HALT ON ERROR to ALL BUT KEYBOARD.
2. In PNP AND PCI SETUP, set PNP OS INSTALLED to YES and set the USB IRQ to ENABLED.
Please Note: SV431USBAE is capable of switching between computers while maintaining USB mouse and keyboard control. If you plan to share other peripherals such as a CCD camera, printer or scanner, you must shut down the corresponding driver on the computer from which KVM control is being switched.
Because port switching is equivalent to unplugging the USB cable from one computer and plugging it in on another, some USB drivers continuously check attached USB peripherals and do not accept plug and play functionality.
Console Connection
Before installation, please ensure that all devices and computers to be connected to the KVM Switch have been turned o.
1. Connect the monitor that will be used to the Console VGA port on the rear panel of SV431USBAE.
2. Connect a USB keyboard and a USB mouse to any two of the Console USB ports as shown below:
