Please be reminding to plug in power adapter. Although the 
PCs connected to KVM Switch are able to support enough 
power to the stand alone switch, KVM Switch still needs a 
power adapter for daisy chain more banks. If you forget to plug 
in power adapter on the status of daisy chain, it may cause the 
unexpected status occurred.

 

 

2.5 Daisy Chain Connection Diagram 

Please use the bundle 3 feet 3-in-one daisy chain Cable 
Kit to daisy chain the KVM Switch. 

 

A.  Connect Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor to the console port 

(white color block) of bank 1 KVM switch. 

B.  Use one end of 3-in-one Cable Kit to connect the daisy 

chain port of bank 1 and the other end for the console port 
(white color block) of bank 2 KVM switch. 

C.  Please repeat item B to daisy chain more bank as you 

want. But, the maximum daisy chain bank is eight levels. 

D.  Before chaining the slave bank up to six banks, you need 

a VGA extender (Max. 100 feet ) between the fifth bank 
and the sixth bank to enhance the VGA signal.
