How to install Vertiv Cybex SC800 Secure KVM

• Plan your deployment by identifying the four target servers with DisplayPort outputs and ensuring a secure, access-controlled workspace for the console.
• Power down all connected devices before installation to avoid hot-plug complications and to maintain secure startup sequencing.
• Connect the four target servers to the SC800 using their DisplayPort outputs. Ensure each port is securely seated and aligned to prevent signal loss or cable strain.
• Connect the secure KVM console’s keyboard, mouse, and any supported USB peripherals to the SC800’s console interfaces as appropriate for your environment, following manufacturer guidelines for authorized peripherals.
• Connect the SC800 to the approved admin workstation or security console. Power on the KVM and the connected servers; enter any required authentication or configuration prompts per your security policy.
• Configure access controls, session policies, and logging settings to meet NIAP-compliant requirements. Establish user roles, authentication methods, and session audit trails to ensure accountability and traceability.
• Test switching between servers to verify video, keyboard, and mouse signals are consistently reliable. Confirm that security controls properly isolate sessions and prevent cross-source data leakage.
• Document the installation, including connections, user access lists, and security settings, so auditors can review the secure configuration and compliance posture.
