If you encounter issues, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Display on Monitor:

  • Verify that the KVM switch is receiving power via the USB cables from the computers. The LED indicators should be lit.
  • Try connecting the monitor directly to a computer to confirm the monitor and computer's video output are functional.
