Operation Notes

When turning on or rebooting your computers, the 2x1 DVI KVM Switcher must be se-
lected to the computer that is booting until the computer completes the boot cycle.  This 
step can be eliminated using the Gefen DVI Detective. 

If you lose your picture when switching from source 1 to source 2 or vice-versa you will 
require a DVI Detective.

If you are experiencing USB dropouts try using the switcher just as a USB hub by only 
connecting the USB cables from your computers to the switcher. Connect your devices 
to the USB out portion of the switcher and connect your display to your computer direct-
ly. Start your computer up and try switching. If your USB devices do come up normally 
then you will need a DVI Detective to negotiate the video/USB signals for faster switch-
ing. If they do not come up normally, then you will need to call tech support.
