Introduction Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com 1U KVM module. Designed for use with StarTech.com’s CABCONS17 or CABCONS19 integrated cabinet consoles, these KVMs allow you to control your PCs from one convenient location. Our universal KVM switches let you control either 8 (CAB831HD) or 16 (CAB1631HD) USB or PS/2 computers. These slim KVM switches take up only 1U of space in your cabinet and use rear cable connections for maximum space efficiency.
Installation This section will guide you through the hardware installation of your KVM switch. Please read through this section carefully and complete each step in the order listed. 1. Make sure all computers and devices are powered off. 2. Connect your KVM module to your 1UCABCONS17 or 1UCABCONS19 as directed in their user guides. 3.

OSD Operations By hitting the left key twice within two seconds, you may see the ‘Hotkey Menu’ if it is enabled (an OSD option).

The port number (or channel address) of the currently selected computer is displayed in red in the top right of the screen. The device name is green if the device has power and is ready for selection or white if it has no power. The OSD menu automatically updates the color when it is activated.

Off mode is useful if you want to listen to a particular computer’s audio signal while operating other computers. The non-volatile memory stores the Audio Stick setting.

The actual display position shifts due to different VGA resolution, the higher the resolution the higher the display position. The non-volatile memory stores the Position setting.
