A Module as a Slave or a Stand-Alone KVM Switch
A slave KVM switch module can be mounted to the inside of the rear uprights
of a rack cabinet using the rear
brackets (which come with all
units except IKM001), with
computer connectors facing to the
rear, as well. NOTE: The connectors
(keyboard and mouse) at the local port on the
rear of the KVM module are not applicable when
the module is connected to the TFT LCD drawer by the
CEN36 connector. When the CEN36 connector is not
connected to the TFT LCD drawer, the KVM switch module acts as a rear-mount
stand-alone KVM switch module. The VGA ports (local and remote) can be
connected to external VGA monitors at any time.
Initial Power-Up
Make sure all computers and KVM switch modules are powered down during
installation. You must power up the master before turning on any other devices.
For a single KVM switch module:
1. Connect a power adapter (output power = 12 V DC) to the master.
2. Turn on the computers.
For cascaded KVM switch modules:
1. Connect a power adapter (O/P = 12 V DC) to the master.
2. Connect power adapters (O/P = 9 – 12V DC) to all slaves.
3. Turn on the computers.
NOTE: After the initial power-up, you can hot-plug additional powered-down
computers or a slave KVM switch module without turning off already-connected
computers.

flashes red when it is in either Auto Scan or Manual Scan mode.
NOTE: For 16-port modules (Model 521871), “1” – ”8” are for the lower row of
eight ports and “A” – ”H” are for the higher/upper row of eight ports. Port 1 and
Port A share the same button: If Port 1 is already selected, tap its button to select
