How to install IOGEAR 2-Port 4K Dual View KVMP Switch

• Place the KVMP switch on your desk within easy reach of both computers and monitors. Ensure there is clear access to HDMI cables, USB devices, and audio connections.
• Connect the two computers to the KVMP switch using high‑quality HDMI cables. Use separate HDMI cables for each host to ensure reliable dual‑display output.
• Attach your two 4K monitors to the corresponding HDMI outputs on the switch. Confirm that each monitor is configured to the correct input on your video system.
• Connect USB peripherals (keyboard, mouse, external drives, and any USB devices you need shared) to the USB 3.0 hub on the switch. This enables seamless peripheral sharing across both hosts.
• Link audio devices by connecting your speakers or headset to the switch’s audio passthrough jacks, if you plan to share audio across hosts or use a common audio setup.
• Plug the external power supply into the KVMP switch and connect it to a reliable power source. Power is typically essential to maintain stable 4K performance and hub functionality.
• Power on both computers and verify that each HDMI output displays correctly. Use the front panel button or hot‑key commands to switch control between the two computers, ensuring the monitor and USB hub reflect the active host.
• Install any required drivers if prompted, though many HDMI/KVM setups are plug‑and‑play. If you experience any connectivity issues, re-seat cables and verify that each monitor is assigned to the correct HDMI output on the switch.
• Test the USB hub by connecting a few peripherals and confirming they respond on the active host. If a device is not recognized, try a different USB port or reconnect the device to confirm proper detection across hosts.
• For routine maintenance, keep the switch in a ventilated area away from heat sources. Regularly inspect cables for wear and replace any damaged HDMI or USB cables to maintain peak performance.
