How to install Black Box ServSwitch DT DVI 4-Port with Emulated USB Keyboard/Mouse Kit

• Power off all connected devices and place the ServSwitch in a convenient, accessible location with clear access to all ports and cables for the four computers you plan to connect.
• Connect each computer's DVI output to one of the DVI input ports on the switch using standard DVI cables, ensuring the corresponding USB keyboard and mouse peripherals are connected to the switch’s USB emulation ports.
• Attach your local monitor to the switch’s output, and verify that the EDID emulation is functioning so the host computers report the correct display capabilities to avoid resolution issues.
• Power on the switch first, followed by the connected PCs. Use the front‑panel port selectors or keyboard hotkeys to switch between hosts as needed, observing LED indicators for active connections.
• Test input devices on each PC to confirm keyboard and mouse responsiveness after switching. If necessary, adjust EDID settings or display configurations on the hosts to achieve optimal performance and stability.
