Installation  
Before you begin, ensure that the power to all the devices you will be connecting  
has been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have  
the Keyboard Power On function. Otherwise, the switch will receive power from the  
computer. To prevent damage to your equipment, make sure that all the devices you  
will be connecting are properly grounded.  
1. Plug your keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the corresponding ports on the  
SV215MICUSBA. The keyboard and mouse ports are labeled with an icon to  
distinguish them.  
Note: When using a wireless composite keyboard and mouse, its USB cable must  
plug into the keyboard port in order for the Hotkeys to function.  
2. Plug your speakers into the speaker jack on the SV215MICUSBA.  
Note: This step is optional.Plug the USB, video, and speaker connectors of the  
attached KVM cables into their respective ports on the computers you are installing.  
3. Turn on the power to the computers. Please Note: The SV215MICUSBA’s Power On  
default is to link to the first computer you turn on.
