Installation

Note: B006-HD2UA4 shown. Installation steps are the same for the B006-HD2UA2 model.
To prevent damage to your installation from power surges or static electricity, it is important that all connected devices are properly grounded.

Ground the unit by connecting one end of a grounding wire o the Grounding Terminal and the other end to a suitable grounded object.
Note: Do not skip this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to the unit from power surges or static electricity.
Plug your USB keyboard and USB mouse into the USB console ports from the Console Ports Section located on the unit’s rear panel.
Plug your HDMI monitors into the HDMI console ports from the Console Ports Section located on the unit’s rear panel and power on the monitors.
Plug your microphone and speakers into the Audio Jacks located on the unit’s front panel. Audio cables are required to connect to the CPU for this connection to work.
Plug your secondary microphone and speakers into the Audio Jacks located on the unit’s rear panel.
Note: The microphone and speakers plugged into the front panel have priority over those plugged into these jacks.
With a user-supplied HDMI cable, plug the HDMI connector into any available HDMI port on the KVM Ports Section of the switch (CPU1, CPU2, etc.). Then, plug the USB 3.0 cable, microphone cable and speaker cable into their corresponding ports. With a second user-supplied HDMI cable, plug the HDMI connector into the HDMI port in the same KVM Ports Section of the switch.
Note: Verify that all the connectors are in the same KVM Ports Section (all in CPU1, all in CPU2, etc.).
At the other end of the cables from step 6, plug the HDMI cables, USB 3.0 cable, microphone cable, and speaker cable into their respective ports on the computer. Repeat steps 6, and 7 for each dual-screen PC system you are installing.
(Optional) Plug your USB peripherals into the front or rear USB 3.1 Gen1 Peripheral Ports.
(Optional) If you choose to use the remote port selector, plug its cable into the Remote Port Selector Jack, located on the unit’s rear panel.
Plug the power adapter included with the KVM switch into an AC power source, then plug the power adapter cable into the switch’s Power Jack.
Power on the computers.
