Please Note: If some cables are not long enough we recommend that the complete cable is
replaced with a longer length rather than using extension cables. Extension cables introduce
additional plug to socket connections, which can adversely affect the signal quality. Please bear
this in mind when using high resolutions or long distances.

Installation
Before you start please verify that all parts are included according to the package contents.
Please prepare the required amount of KVM cables to connect your computers/servers. If you
want to install the KVM Switch in a 19" server rack please attach the enclosed 19" Rackmount
brackets using the screws provided.
If you intend to install the optional KVM over IP module then please install it into the
module slot before you connect the servers and the power supply to the KVM Switch.
You may also wish to attach one of the information labels supplied with the KVM over IP
module to the back (or the front) of the KVM Switch so that you can easily locate the IP
modules MAC address.
In addition to the computers/servers to be connected you will need a PS/2 keyboard, monitor
and PS/2 mouse to use as a local console. You will also need combined 3-in-1 KVM connection
cables (as described on page 3) to connect the computers/Servers to the LINDY KVM Switch.
1. Switch off all the computers to be attached.
2. Connect the keyboard, monitor and mouse directly to the ports of the LINDY KVM
Switch labelled Console Port.
3. Now connect the servers and PCs to the ports labelled 1 to 8/16.
4. Attach the power supply to the KVM Switch. Switch on your monitor.
Cascading / Daisy chaining of multiple KVM Switches
You can integrate up to 8 KVM Switches in one KVM daisy chained installation. Using the KVM
Switch Classic 16 Remote, this gives a maximum of 128 attached computers.
To connect an additional KVM Switch to the MASTER (or previous) KVM Switch use a standard
(VGA + 2 x PS/2) 3-in-1 KVM cable as listed above, with all male connectors.
1. First cascaded unit - Use a 3-in-1 KVM cable to connect the daisy chain port of the
MASTER KVM Switch to the console port of the first SLAVE KVM Switch.
2. Further cascaded units - Repeat the previous step to daisy chain more KVM
Switches. Each individual switch in the chain represents a different Bank. The
MASTER switch is Bank 1 and each cascaded SLAVE follows on as Bank 2, 3, 4
etc. to a maximum of eight banks/switches.
3. Resetting the Switches - After you have connected and switched on the SLAVE
KVM switches and computers, all of the KVM switches have to be reset. First, reset
the SLAVE KVM Switch at the end of the daisy chain and then reset all of the other
SLAVE switches up to the MASTER KVM switch.
To reset the switch, press the Bank and Scan button on the front panel of the switch. From the
KVM over IP console you press the Scroll Lock key twice followed by the "L" key.
To set up and configure the KVM over IP remote access module please refer to the user
manual supplied with the KVM over IP module.
