Rackmount smk-580 User Guide

 

 

Before installation, please make sure all of peripherals and computers have been turned off.   
 
Step 1 
Find a convenient place to put your SMK-580. When mounting to a rack, attach the included 
brackets to the sides of the SMK-580. Take note of the length of your cables so that your 
computers keyboard, mouse and monitor are distanced properly. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Step 2 
Now the PC connections can be made with the monitor (VGA) connections first. Connect a 
VGA cable (15-pin HDDB Male / Male) with the Male side to both of the PC and the rear panel 
of the KVM switch to the connector labeled VGA. Repeat this for all PCs. 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
Step 3 
Connect the first computer’s mouse cable to the SMK-580. If using a PS/2 cable, connect one 
end to the PS/2 mouse port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1 PS/2 mouse port on 
the back of SMK-580. If using a serial mouse cable (optional), connect one end to a DB-9 serial 
port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1 DB-9 serial mouse port on the back of the 
SMK-580. If you need Serial DB-9 to PS2 Mini Din 6 pin adapter, please contact your supplier.
