Installing the Vista LC DVI Switch 

Unpack the Vista LC DVI switch and check the contents of the package.  

If the switch is to be rackmounted, then attach a rackmount bracket to either side of the switch using the 

provided screw-set. 

Before installing the switch into the rack, connect two PC’s using the included DVI/USB/Audio cables, and then 

connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the user port. 

Power on the monitor, then the switch, followed by the PC’s. Check to confirm the PC’s can be switched (via 

front panel or keyboard hotkey) and that full operation of the switch is confirmed. 

 

Once this operation has been confirmed, the switch can then be fully installed into the rack. Connect the 

remainder of the DVI/USB/Audio cables to the Vista LC DVI switch
