Introduction  
The StarTech.com SV231QDVIUA 2 Port Quad Monitor DVI USB KVM Switch with Audio & USB  
Hub allows two PCs, each with up to four dual-link DVI video outputs, to share monitors, a  
microphone and set of stereo speakers, one keyboard and one mouse as well as one additional  
USB peripheral. An ideal solution for graphic designers, CAD/CAM designers or educational and  
financial institutions, the Quad DVI USB KVM Switch allows you to instantly switch back and forth  
between quad DVI display PCs at the touch of a button, while maintaining professional level  
video quality on both monitors. The quad DVI switch also features an integrated USB hub port  
that allows USB 2.0 peripherals such as thumb drives, external hard drives or web cams to be  
shared between attached systems - eliminating duplicate peripheral costs.

Installation  
NOTE: Prior to the installation, please power off all devices that will be connected to this system.  
Ensure that all devices you will connect are properly grounded.  
Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely to  
generate electrical noise.  
If you experience any problems using a USB KVM switch, the following BIOS setup changes may  
be necessary for PC users and not necessary for Mac users:  
Set HALT ON ERROR to ALL BUT KEYBOARD.  
In PNP AND PCI SETUP, set PNP OS INSTALLED to YES and set USB IRQ to ENABLED.  
Different systems may use different naming, so contact your system manufacturer for further  
assistance with these settings.  
Hardware Installation  
*Console Setup  
1. Plug up to four monitor(s) into the Console’s DVI connectors; plug a USB keyboard and a USB  
mouse into the dedicated USB keyboard and mouse ports on the KVM switch. If using  
audio, also connect speakers with 3.5mm mini-jack plugs.  
2. Use male-to-male DVI-D video cable(s) to connect the DVI connector(s) on the computer’s  
video card, to the DVI ports for one of the KVM’s PC ports (i.e. PC1). NOTE: If using a  
screen resolution greater than 1920x1200, dual-link cables are required.  
3.  
Use a USB type A-B Cable to connect the KVM’s USB port (type B, square connector) for  
the PC port used in Step 2, and the USB port on the computer (type A, flat connector). If using  
audio, connect 3.5mm mini-jack cables from the PC port to the sound card.

NOTE: DVI + USB + Audio KVM combo cables are also available which can be used in place of  
separate individual cables  
(e.g. StarTech.com ID: DVI4N1USB6)  
*Computer Setup  
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each PC port on the KVM switch, or each computer you wish to use  
on the KVM.  
5. OPTIONAL: Connect any other USB peripheral you wish to share between the connected  
computers/devices to the extra USB Hub port on the Console side.  
6. Connect the external power adapter from a wall outlet to the power connector on the rear  
panel of the KVM switch.  
7. Power up the first computer/device and wait for it to fully boot and test keyboard/mouse  
functionality.  
8. Once operation has been successfully confirmed, switch to the next port and power up that  
computer/device and confirm.  
9. Once completed for all computers/devices connected to the KVM switch, you should be able  
to switch between ports freely.  
Driver Installation  
No driver installation is required for the KVM switch, as the keyboard/mouse use USB drivers that  
are already installed on any operating system that fully supports USB.

Operation  
Front Panel  
Port Selection/Link LED  
The LED turns green when the connected computer is powered-on. The corresponding LED will  
also illuminate red when that PC port is currently selected.  
Port Selection Button  
Each push of the Selection Button on the front of the KVM switch will immediately switch  
between the two ports on the KVM switch.  
Hotkey Control  
A Hotkey command is a short keyboard sequence for selecting a computer, activating computer  
scan, etc. A hotkey sequence starts with two left <CTRL> keystrokes (successively within 0.2  
seconds) followed by one or two more keystrokes. A built-in tone generator creates a high-pitch  
beep for correct hotkey command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep is generated for errors and the  
bad key sequence will not be forwarded to the selected computer.  
NOTE: Press and hold Left <SHIFT> and press <NumLock> twice, then release <SHIFT> followed  
by pressing left <CTRL> once, which will enable / disable the hotkey feature.  
To select a computer:  
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <1>  
(Example: Selects the computer at port 1.)  
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <2>  
(Example: Selects the computer at port 2.)  
NOTE: Do not use the keypad on the right-side of the keyboard.

Auto Scan  
The KVM automatically scans through the powered-on computers in sequence on a fixed time  
interval (see Scan Time below).  
Note: The keyboard and mouse are not operable during Auto Scan.  
To start Auto Scan:  
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <F1>  
To abort the Auto Scan mode, press the left <CTRL> key twice. When Auto Scan detects any  
keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the scanning till the activity stops; it then resumes with  
the next computer in sequence. The length of the Auto Scan interval (Scan Time) is adjustable,  
see below.  
Manual Scan allows users to manually switch back and forth between powered-on computers.  
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <F2>  
To select the previous or the next computer, press <UP> or <DOWN> arrow keys. To abort the  
Manual Scan, press any other key.  
Scan Time  
Four options are available for users to set the Scan Time duration, it Includes 3, 8, 15 and 30  
seconds.  
Note: Scan Time is set to 3 seconds by default.  
To adjust Scan Rate, set the scan time of duration before switching to the next computer:  
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <F3>  
The KVM Switch generates 1 to 4 beeps indicating a scan time duration for 3, 8, 15 or 30 seconds  
respectively.

Audio Lock  
There are two options for Audio Lock: ON and OFF. When ON, audio selection follows computer  
selection. When OFF, audio selection stops following computer selection. It is useful if you want  
to listen to a particular computer’s audio signal while operating other computers.  
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <F5>  
The KVM switch beeps once or twice corresponding to ON and OFF respectively.  
To change which computer port the audio stays on to the currently selected port, press the  
following hotkey:  
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <A>  
Alternative Hotkey Commands  
In addition to the Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> hotkeys, there are two alternative hotkey  
sequences available.

For the following operations, users may press <ScrollLock> twice instead of pressing left <CTRL>  
twice.  
To select a computer:  
<ScrollLock> + <ScrollLock> + <1>  
(Example: Select the computer at port 1.)  
<ScrollLock> + <ScrollLock> + <2>  
(Example: Select the computer at port 2.)  
NOTE: Do not use the keypad at the right of the keyboard.  
For those keyboards that do not have or support <ScrollLock>, please press and HOLD the Left  
<SHIFT> and press <NumLock> twice instead of pressing Left <CTRL> twice.  
To select a computer:  
Hold Left <SHIFT> + Press <NumLock> + Press <NumLock>  
then release <SHIFT> + Press <1>  
(Example: Select the computer at port 1.)  
Hold Left <SHIFT> + Press <NumLock> + Press <NumLock>  
then release <SHIFT> + Press <2>  
(Example: Select the computer at port 2.)  
NOTE: Do not use the keypad at the right of the keyboard.  
Change Leading Hotkey  
The default leading hotkey sequence involves pressing the left <CTRL> twice in succession  
(e.g. left <CTRL> + left <CTRL>). This can be changed to the right <CTRL> key instead, to avoid  
accidental activation due to using the left <CTRL> key for functions such as Copy/Paste.  
To change the leading hotkey sequence to Right <CTRL>:  
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + hold <ALT> + press Right <CTRL>  
All hotkey commands that previously required pressing the Left <CTRL> will be switched to  
requiring the right <CTRL> instead.  
To change the leading hotkey sequence back to Left <CTRL>:  
Right <CTRL> + Right <CTRL> + hold <ALT> + press Left <CTRL>
