Before you begin, make sure that the power to all the devices you will be connecting has been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function. Otherwise, the switch will receive power from the computer.
To prevent damage to your equipment, make sure that all the devices you will be connecting are properly grounded. Installing your new CS-62A involves the following steps:
Plug your keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the Console ports on the CS-62A. Each port is labeled with an appropriate icon.
Plug your speakers into the CS-62A’s speaker jack. Note: This step is optional
Plug the attached KVM cables’ keyboard, monitor, mouse, and speaker connectors into their respective ports on the computers you are installing.

Some Notebooks, notably the IBM Thinkpad and Toshiba Tecra, have trouble when their mouse and keyboard ports are used simultaneously. To avoid this, only connect the mouse port or the keyboard port. If you connect the mouse port, you will need to use the notebook’s keyboard when the notebook becomes the active computer.
