how to install Tripp Lite by Eaton Secure KVM Switch

• Power down all connected computers and peripherals before installation to prevent accidental input or signal conflicts.
• Place the KVM switch on a stable surface or rack shelf and connect the unit to a power source using the supplied power adapter.
• Connect each computer to the KVM’s 4 host ports using DisplayPort cables for both video channels and USB cables to provide keyboard/mouse control. If the setup requires two displays per host, attach both DisplayPort cables per host to the corresponding DisplayPort inputs on the KVM.
• Attach the monitor(s) to the KVM’s DisplayPort output connectors, ensuring correct arrangement for dual-display per host configurations. Connect any required audio devices to the KVM’s audio jacks if you intend to use integrated audio.
• Connect a keyboard and mouse to the KVM’s USB peripheral ports. Verify all peripherals are recognized by your BIOS or operating systems once power is restored.
• Power on the connected computers and use the front-panel buttons or hot-key commands to switch between hosts. Confirm that each host’s displays and audio are functioning correctly and that the KVM is logging switch events for auditability.
• If needed, configure any host-specific display settings (such as 4K resolution or scaling) to match the KVM’s output capabilities and ensure consistent user experience across all connected computers.
