Switch
The Keyboard-Video-Mouse (KVM) Switch provides for control of up to 4 Information
Centers with a single keyboard and mouse. It also permits a single display to serve as the
2nd (applications) display for all Information Centers. Figure 5-31 shows a wiring diagram
for 4 Information Centers connected to a KVM Switch. However, it can also be used for
only a keyboard or only a keyboard and mouse.
Detailed information on KVM Switch installation is given in the following Installation
Note, which is provided with the Switch and also contained in the Documentation CD-
ROM.
Note When installing the KVM Switch, keyboard and mouse cables on the USER PORTs must be
attached securely with a cable tie, either to the video plug (if present) or to the cable tie mount
provided, as shown in Figure 5-31.
When securing cables, be sure to provide strain relief loops and cinch cable ties tightly.
