  If you're experiencing a 'no video' issue with your Avocent Switch, make sure the video cable between the computer and the SwitchView is connected to the selected port and that the monitor cable is correctly connected to the SwitchView. Try powering down the computer, connecting the monitor directly to it, and powering it up again. If the monitor still doesn't work, test with another monitor.
