4. Connect Computers to KVM (USB): For each computer, connect one of the included USB 3.0 cables from a USB port on your computer to the corresponding USB 3.0 input port on the KVM switch (USB A1, USB A2, USB A3). This enables keyboard, mouse, and other USB peripheral sharing.
5. Connect Peripherals: Connect your keyboard, mouse, and other USB 3.0 devices (e.g., printer, USB drive) to the USB 3.0 ports on the front panel of the KVM switch.
6. Connect Wired Remote: Plug the wired remote control into the dedicated port on the KVM switch.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your KVM switch, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

1. No Display on Monitors:
   • Ensure all HDMI and DisplayPort cables are securely connected between the computers, KVM, and monitors.
   • Verify that the KVM switch is powered on and the correct PC input is selected.
   • Check if your monitors are set to the correct input source (HDMI/DisplayPort).
   • Important: Use high-quality HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 cables, especially for high resolutions (8K/4K@144Hz). Lower quality cables can cause signal loss or no display.
   • If using adapters (e.g., USB-C to DP/HDMI), ensure they are active adapters and properly powered if required.
   • Try connecting one monitor at a time to isolate the issue.
2. Keyboard/Mouse Not Responding:
   • Ensure the USB 3.0 cables are correctly connected from each PC to the KVM switch.
   • Verify that your keyboard and mouse are connected to the dedicated USB 3.0 ports on the KVM front panel.
   • Try connecting the keyboard and mouse directly to the computer to confirm they are functional.
   • Some specialized gaming keyboards/mice with advanced features may require direct connection or specific drivers.
3. Intermittent Signal/Flickering:
   • This often indicates a cable quality issue. Replace HDMI/DisplayPort cables with certified high-speed versions.
   • Ensure the KVM switch is receiving adequate power from the provided adapter.
   • Reduce the resolution or refresh rate temporarily to see if the issue persists.
4. USB 3.0 Devices Not Detected:
   • Confirm the USB 3.0 cables from the PCs to the KVM are connected.
   • Ensure the KVM switch is powered by the external power adapter, as USB 3.0 devices may require more power.
   • Try connecting the USB device directly to the computer to check its functionality.
