1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing SERVIS EX (from here on, "the device" or "the switch device"). This computer-switching device (KVM switch) is PC/AT (from here on, "PC") compatible. Using just one monitor, keyboard and mouse, this device allows you to operate several PC’s. PC’s can be switched simply with the select switch or keyboard. Safety instructions are provided to ensure the safe use of the switch device.
3. Safety Instructions Read the “Safety Instructions” before use to ensure proper use of this product. Safety Instructions contained in this section are written for the user, in order to avoid any damage to property or injury to users; please read the following carefully. Make sure that the power of the PC is OFF before connecting or disconnecting any of the connectors. Also, be sure to discharge any static electricity.
4. Characteristics 4 PC’s can be operated with only one keyboard/monitor/mouse. A lot of space can be saved. Switching is always stable, even at simultaneous PC boot-up. 5 or more PC’s can be connected by using a cascaded connection. A maximum of 16 PC’s can be connected. *In this case, additional device(s) and connection cable(s)/dedicated AC adapter(s) (sold separately) are necessary, depending on the number of PC’s.

Using one switching device (When using one level) It is possible to hook up a maximum of 4 PC’s. See the diagram below.
3) B. Using multiple switching devices (Cascaded connections: When using two levels) Cascaded connection means to connect more than one switching device. With cascaded connections, the first level is the master side, and the second level is the slave side. By using cascaded connections, it is possible to hook up a maximum of 16 PC’s (1 master and 4 slaves). See the diagram below. (1) Connect the PC’s to the second level in the same way as for "when using one level".
7. Operation (Selecting PC) There are two ways to select a PC: the select switch and the Hot Key Mode. Also, when the power to the selected PC is turned off, the status is preserved. Switch to the PC you want to select using the select switch or the Hot Key Mode. 1. PC Selection using the Select Switch Press the select switch number of the PC you want to select and switch PC’s. Then, the SELECT LED above the selected number lights up.
