        Integrated LCD KVM Switch Installer/User Guide
Installation
If you are installing your Integrated LCD KVM Switch to a PS/2 
interface, you must turn off all servers before connecting your appliance 
to a server for proper installation. USB interfaces do not need to be 
turned off before installation.
NOTE: Linux users may experience mouse failure if hot-plugging directly to the 
Integrated LCD KVM Switch. If your mouse becomes locked, use the mouse reset 
hotkeys (see Appendix A) to reset your mouse, or turn the Linux server off before 
connecting it to the Integrated LCD KVM Switch.
To install the Integrated LCD KVM Switch:
1.
Plug one end of the supplied power cord into the back of the switch 
and the other end into an appropriate power source. 
2.
Connect your servers to an available port on the rear of your 
Integrated LCD KVM Switch using the appropriate cable. 
Turn on all connected servers. Keyboard and mouse recognition is 
now activated and your Integrated LCD KVM Switch is ready for 
operation. Figure 1.1 below shows a basic configuration for the 
Integrated LCD KVM Switch.

CAUTION:
 
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment:
 
- Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at
 
all times.
 
- Disconnect the power from the unit by unplugging the power cord from either the
 
electrical outlet or the unit.
