how to install Vertiv Cybex SC800 Secure KVM

• Power down all host systems before installation to avoid hot‑swap risks and ensure clean initialization of the KVM path.
• Mount the SC800 in a secure workstation or rack environment, ensuring proper ventilation and cable management to minimize signal interference and ease future maintenance.
• Connect each host computer to the corresponding KVM input ports using DisplayPort and USB cables, routing video and peripheral data through the SC800’s secure paths.
• Connect your keyboard and mouse to the SC800 console ports, then attach a monitor to the output to complete the single‑display setup. If required, use DP/HDMI adapters to match monitor inputs.
• Attach CAC card readers or readers integrated into the SC800 as specified by your security policy. Ensure software and drivers are configured for CAC/PIV authentication and perform a test login sequence to verify trusted path operation.
• Configure the KVM’s OSD and hotkeys to align with your operational procedures. Validate EDID behavior to guarantee display consistency when switching between hosts.
• Power up the system and perform a port‑by‑port check to confirm that each host is accessible from the single console. Test peripheral functionality (keyboard, mouse, and supported USB devices) across all ports.
• Document your configuration and perform routine security checks as part of your standard operating procedures, ensuring CAC card policies, access controls, and event logs are properly maintained.
