Connect the sharing computers to these ports
with special CPU Adapter Cables. At the switch
end these cables have a DB25M connector; at
the other end[s], they have appropriate
connectors to plug into your CPUs’ video,
keyboard, and (PC models only) mouse ports.
These cables carry between the CPU ports and
the KVM Switch all necessary signals that would
normally pass between the CPU ports and the
monitor, keyboard, and mouse. You must have
an adapter cable for each CPU you plan to
connect. See the next section.
