- Power Off Devices: Ensure both computers and all monitors are powered off before making any connections.
- Connect Monitors: Connect your three DisplayPort monitors to the KVM switch's OUT A, OUT B, and OUT C ports using DisplayPort cables (not included).
- Connect Computers (PC1):
- Connect Computer 1's three DisplayPort outputs to the KVM switch's DP1 A, DP1 B, and DP1 C ports.
- Connect Computer 1's USB 3.0 port to the KVM switch's USB3.0 (PC1 IN) port using one of the provided USB 3.0 A-to-A cables.
- Connect Computers (PC2):
- Connect Computer 2's three DisplayPort outputs to the KVM switch's DP2 A, DP2 B, and DP2 C ports.
- Connect Computer 2's USB 3.0 port to the KVM switch's USB3.0 (PC2 IN) port using the second provided USB 3.0 A-to-A cable.
- Connect USB Peripherals: Connect your keyboard, mouse, and other USB 3.0 devices to the four USB 3.0 Ports (1-4) on the front panel of the KVM switch.
- Connect Wired Remote (Optional): Plug the wired remote controller into the Control port on the front panel.

6. Display Modes (Extended & Duplicate)
The KVM switch supports both extended and duplicate display modes, provided your connected computers support these functionalities.
Extended Mode:
In extended mode, each of your three monitors displays a different part of your desktop, effectively expanding your workspace. You can drag windows across all three screens.
Duplicate Mode:
In duplicate mode, all three monitors display the exact same content, mirroring your main screen. This is useful for presentations or sharing content simultaneously.

Configuring Display Modes:
To configure your display mode (Extended or Duplicate) on Windows, press the Windows key + P and select your desired option. For other operating systems, refer to their respective display settings.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your KVM switch, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- No Display on Monitors:
- Ensure the KVM switch is powered on and the DC 12V adapter is securely connected.
- Verify all DisplayPort cables are correctly and firmly connected between computers, KVM switch, and monitors.
- Confirm that your computers support triple monitor output by connecting them directly to the monitors.
- Try reducing the resolution or refresh rate of your monitors to see if a signal appears.
- Flickering or Unstable Display:
- Check DisplayPort cable quality. Use high-quality, certified DisplayPort 1.4 cables, especially for 8K or high refresh rate resolutions.
- Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date.
- Reduce the display resolution or refresh rate to see if the issue persists.
- USB Devices Not Working:
- Ensure the USB 3.0 A-to-A cables are securely connected from both computers to the KVM switch.
- Try connecting the USB device directly to the computer to confirm it is functional.
- Some high-power USB devices may require external power or a powered USB hub.
- Switching Delay:
- A brief delay during switching is normal as the system re-establishes connections. If the delay is excessive (e.g., 10+ seconds), ensure all cables are properly seated and the KVM switch has stable power.
