Introduction
The 2/ 4-Port Triple Monitor DVI USB KVM Switch allows 2 or 4 PCs, each with 3 DVI
video outputs, to share monitors, 1 microphone and set of speakers, 1 keyboard and
1 mouse as well as an additional USB 2.0 peripheral such as an external hard drive,
thumb drive, printer, or webcam.

Installation
NOTE: Prior to the installation, please power o all devices that will be connected to
this system.
• Ensure that all devices you will connect are properly grounded.
• Place cables away from uorescent 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’.
• Under ‘PNP AND PCI SETUP’, set the option ‘PNP OS INSTALLED’ to YES and set
‘USB IRQ’ to ENABLED.
• Dierent systems may use dierent naming, so contact your system manufacturer
for further assistance with these settings.
Hardware Installation
1. Connect up to three 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 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: Do not mix dierent types of DVI cables (DVI-I, DVI-D) on the same KVM.
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, at
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).
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.
