1. Before starting the installation, shut down all computers that are to be
connected to the KVM switch.
2. Connect the external power supply (B042-Series KVMs) or power
cord (B040-Series KVMs) to the unit, and then plug it into a
Tripp Lite Surge Protector, PDU or Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS).
3. B042-Series KVM Switches Only: Connect a USB or PS/2 keyboard,
a mouse and a monitor to the console ports on the back of the KVM
switch.

mouse, USB keyboard and mouse, PS/2 keyboard and USB mouse, USB
keyboard and PS/2 mouse.
4. B040-Series Console KVM Switches Only: Connect an external
USB mouse or keyboard and an external monitor to the corresponding
