How to Install Tripp Lite by Eaton 16-Port DisplayPort/USB KVM Switch

Setting up this KVM switch is designed to be straightforward, letting you deploy quickly while keeping future scalability in mind. Follow these steps to establish a clean, reliable multi-host control system:

  • Plan your layout and cabling. Decide which computers will connect to the KVM switch and where your console (keyboard, mouse, monitor) will be positioned. Group cables by host to minimize confusion and maximize airflow around the equipment rack.
  • Mount the unit in a suitable 1U rack-space. Use standard rack rails and ensure the chassis is securely fastened. Verify that the area around the device has adequate clearance for cable management and ventilation.
  • Connect each computer to the switch. Attach each computer’s DisplayPort video output to the corresponding DisplayPort input port on the switch. Then connect each computer’s USB devices (keyboard, mouse, and any USB peripherals you plan to share) to the switch’s USB ports designated for host connections.
  • Connect the console devices. Attach your keyboard, mouse, and DisplayPort monitor to the switch’s console ports. If you’re using audio, plug the headsets or speakers into the 3.5 mm audio jacks on the switch or required monitors as applicable.
  • Power up and configure. Apply power to the KVM switch and enable the console devices. Use the front-panel controls, hotkey sequences, or the on-screen display (OSD) to configure initial settings, such as default host selection, hotkey preferences, and any required video or USB behavior. Test switching between hosts to confirm stability and performance across all connected systems.
