NOTE:
If you are using cables other than those provided in the KVM Remote Control
package or branded by StarTech.com, ensure that the cables are of high quality and use
the minimum possible distance necessary. Low quality or excessively long (particularly
video) cables between the host computer and the Remote Control could degrade
performance.
IMPORTANT:
SVx41HDIE is convection-cooled. As such, please ensure the vents on
both sides are unobstructed.
