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 off.
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:
