• Position the flat KVM console in its rack enclosure or designated workspace. If mounting in a rack, align with standard mounting rails and secure using appropriate hardware per your rack’s guidelines.
• Connect the video cable from the console to the first server you intend to manage, then route additional cables to other servers according to your established KVM switching setup and cabling plan.
• Connect USB or keyboard/mouse interfaces as required for your environment and verify that all connections are secure and neatly managed to avoid cable strain.
• Apply power to the console and connected servers. Use the built-in on-screen display (OSD) or hotkey commands to initialize configuration, set up server profiles, and define preferred autoscans or switching sequences if supported.
• Test the local access to the first server and confirm that the console can switch between multiple servers smoothly. Check video clarity, input responsiveness, and overall usability. Adjust display settings via OSD if necessary for optimal readability in your environment.
• Document the installation with a simple diagram of cabling, server connections, and any hotkey or profile configurations to assist future maintenance or expansion efforts.
