Setup Guide

Follow these steps to properly set up your MLEEDA 8K DisplayPort KVM Switch:

1. Power Connection: Connect the included USB Power Cable to the KVM switch's power input port (DC 5V) and to a USB power source (e.g., a computer USB port or a USB wall adapter). While the KVM switch is powered by USB cables, an external 5V adapter may be required for high-power USB devices (like HDDs or SSDs) connected to the KVM.
2. Monitor Connections:
   • Connect your two monitors to the "DP MONITOR OUT A" and "DP MONITOR OUT B" ports on the KVM switch using DisplayPort cables.
3. Computer Connections (PC 1 & PC 2):
   • For PC 1: Connect two DisplayPort cables from PC 1's DP output ports to the "DP INPUT A1" and "DP INPUT B1" ports on the KVM switch.
   • For PC 1: Connect one USB 3.0 cable from PC 1's USB port to the "USB3.0 INPUT A" port on the KVM switch.
   • For PC 2: Connect two DisplayPort cables from PC 2's DP output ports to the "DP INPUT A2" and "DP INPUT B2" ports on the KVM switch.
   • For PC 2: Connect one USB 3.0 cable from PC 2's USB port to the "USB3.0 INPUT B" port on the KVM switch.
   • Important Note: Each computer requires two DisplayPort cables and one USB 3.0 cable connected to the KVM switch for proper dual monitor functionality. Ensure your PCs have dual DP outputs or use appropriate adapters (Mini DP to DP, USB-C to DP) if needed.
4. Peripheral Connections: Connect your keyboard, mouse, printer, U-disk, or other USB 3.0 devices to the four "USB3.0" ports on the front of the KVM switch.
5. Wired Remote Control: Plug the wired remote control into the dedicated port on the KVM switch for convenient switching.

Operating Instructions

Once the KVM switch is set up, you can easily switch between connected computers and manage your display modes.

Switching Between Computers

The KVM switch offers two convenient methods for switching between PC 1 and PC 2:

• Front Panel Button: Press the "SELECT" button located on the front panel of the KVM switch to toggle between the connected computers.
• Wired Remote Control: Use the included wired remote control to switch between computers. This provides flexibility for placement of the KVM switch.

Display Modes (Extended vs. Mirror)

The KVM switch supports both extended and mirror display modes, depending on your operating system and configuration:

• Extended Mode: Allows you to display different content on each of your two monitors, effectively expanding your desktop. This mode is typically supported by Windows operating systems.
• Mirror Mode (Copy Mode): Displays the same content on both monitors. This mode is also supported, and for macOS, it typically only supports mirror mode for dual displays.

The final resolution and display mode are dependent on your graphics cards, monitors, and cables.

USB 3.0 Data Transfer

The KVM switch features four USB 3.0 ports, supporting ultra-fast data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps. This allows for quick recognition and operation of various USB devices, including keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, and USB drives. The ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 devices.
