Follow these steps to connect your KVM switch:

1. Power Off Devices: Ensure both computers and all monitors are powered off before making any connections.
2. Connect Monitors to KVM: Connect your three monitors to the KVM switch's output ports (Monitor A, Monitor B, Monitor C). Ensure you use the correct port types (1x HDMI, 2x DisplayPort).
3. Connect Computers to KVM:
   • For PC 1: Connect 1x HDMI, 2x DisplayPort, and 1x USB 3.0 cable from PC 1 to the corresponding "PC 1" input ports on the KVM switch.
   • For PC 2: Connect 1x HDMI, 2x DisplayPort, and 1x USB 3.0 cable from PC 2 to the corresponding "PC 2" input ports on the KVM switch.

   Note: Each computer requires 1 HDMI, 2 DisplayPort, and 1 USB connection to the KVM switch for full functionality. If your computer lacks any of these ports, a reliable adapter or docking station may be required.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Display on Monitors:
  • Ensure all video cables (HDMI, DisplayPort) are securely connected between computers, KVM, and monitors.
  • Verify that the KVM switch is powered on and the correct input (PC 1 or PC 2) is selected.
  • Confirm that your computers and monitors support multi-screen output by connecting them directly (bypassing the KVM) before using the switch.
  • Check monitor input sources to ensure they are set to the correct HDMI/DisplayPort input.
• USB Devices Not Responding:
  • Ensure the USB 3.0 cables are securely connected from both computers to the KVM switch.
  • Try connecting the USB device directly to the computer to confirm it functions correctly.
  • Some high-power USB devices may require external power or a powered USB hub.
• Incorrect Resolution or Refresh Rate:
  • Ensure you are using high-quality cables, especially for 8K/4K resolutions (e.g., 8K one-meter cables for best results).
  • Adjust display settings on your computer (e.g., Windows Display Settings, Mac System Preferences) to select the desired resolution and refresh rate.
• Switching Delay:
  • A brief delay during switching is normal as the KVM re-establishes connections. Significant delays might indicate a cable issue or a need to restart the KVM and connected devices.
• Cross Output Not Supported:
  • The KVM signal is transmitted in a single layer (e.g., Input A1 to Monitor A, Input C2 to Monitor C). Cross output (e.g., Input B2 to Monitor C) is not supported.

8. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your KVM switch:

• Keep the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• Avoid exposing the device to moisture or liquids.
• Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the device to prevent overheating.
