Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com 1U KVM switch. Our universal KVM switches

let you control either 8 (SV831HD) or 16 (SV1631HD) USB or PS/2 computers using only

one PS/2 keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Our slim 16-port PS/2 switch (SV1631D1U)

lets you connect 16 PS/2 computers using only one PS/2 keyboard, mouse, and

monitor. Switching between your PCs is easy thanks to pushbutton or hotkey

commands. These slim KVM switches take up only 1U of space in your cabinet and use

rear cable connections for maximum space eciency. Each KVM can be cascaded to

support 64 (SV831HD) or 136 (SV1631HD, SV1631D1U) computers and support both

Manual and Auto scan modes for easy monitoring of your PCs.

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 o.

2. Plug a PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and monitor into the labelled keyboard, mouse,

and monitor Console ports on the back of the KVM.

3. Attach each of your managed computers to your StarView KVM switch’s PC ports

using ultra-thin KVM cables. The SV831HD and SV1631HD are capable of using

either 2-in-1 USB or 3-in-1 PS/2 cables. The SV1631D1U uses 3-in-1 PS/2 cables.

Use the cables to connect one of the PC ports on the back of the switch to the

computer’s keyboard, mouse, and video ports. Note: These instructions are for a

single KVM switch only. For information on cascading multiple KVMs, see Cascade

Conguration below.

4. Plug the 9V DC power adapter into the power port on the KVM.

5. Turn on your computers.

Note: After the initial power up, you can hot-plug additional computers or slave KVM

switches without having to power down your KVM.

Instruction Manual

Cascade Conguration

You can connect a second level of KVMs to one or more of your Master KVM switch’s

PC ports. The KVM switches connected to the Master switch are know as Slaves. Once

connected, the KVM switches will automatically congure themselves as either Masters

or Slaves. You can only connect an equal or “smaller” KVM to the Master KVM. For

example, a 16-port Master KVM switch can have both 16-port and 8-port slaves. An

8-port Master KVM switch can only have 8-port KVM slaves or lower.

The 8-port KVM can support 64 PCs, with 8 8-port Slave KVMs, each connected to 8

PCs. The 16-port KVM can support 136 computers, with 8 16-port Slave KVMs, each

connected to 16 computers. The Slave KVM’s must be connected to the Console, not

the A~H ports.

To cascade your KVMs, use a 3-in-1 PS/2 KVM cable to connect one of your Master

switch’s PC ports to the Slave switch’s Console ports. When turning on your cascaded

switches, turn on the Master switch before turning on any of the others.

Operating Your KVM Switch

To toggle between computers, you can use the hot-key commands, OSD (On-Screen

Display) menu or by using the pushbuttons.

Push Buttons

The LEDs on the KVM switch indicate which computers are turned on (solid green)

and which computer is selected (solid red). The indicator ashes red when in Auto or

Manual Scan mode. You can press any of the corresponding pushbuttons to select the

active computer. On the 16 port models, Port 1 and Port A share the same pushbutton,

as do Port 2 and Port B, etc. To select Ports 1 through 8, press the pushbutton once. To

select Ports A through H, press and hold the pushbutton for two seconds. Alternatively,

if Port 1 is currently selected and you want to select Port A, you can press the

pushbutton once to switch to Port A.

The K/M Reset function recongures your system without powering down your

computers or your KVM switch. To reset the switch, press and hold the front-panel 1

and 2 buttons simultaneously.

The Auto-Scan function automatically scrolls through your connected computers. Press

and hold the frontpanel 7 and 8 buttons simultaneously to enter Auto Scan mode.

Hot Key Commands

A hot key command is a short keyboard sequence to select a computer, activate

a computer scan, etc. A hot-key sequence starts with two Left Control keystrokes

followed by one or two more keystrokes. A built-in buzzer generates a high-pitched

beep for correct hot-key sequences and a low-pitched beep for errors or bad key

combinations that will not be carried out.

The short form hot-key menu can be turned on as an OSD function (<F4>: More\

Hotkey Menu) every time the left <CTRL> key is pressed twice.

• Left Ctrl refers to the <CTRL> key located at the left side of the keyboard.

• 1~8/A~H refer to the number keys 1 to 8 at the upper row of the keyboard (Do

not use the keypad atthe right of the keyboard) and character keys A to H (case

insensitive).

Selecting a Computer

To select a computer by hot-key command you need to know the device’s channel

address, which is determined by the StarView connection.

For a computer connected to a Master KVM, the address is represented by the PC

port number (1~8 or A~H). For example, to access the PC plugged into port 7 of the

Master KVM switch, type:

left Ctrl + left Ctrl + 7

For a computer connected to a Slave KVM, you need to know the channel address of

the Slave unit (1~8) and then the channel address of the device (1~8 or A~H). (Please

note that only Master’s PC 1 to PC 8 ports can be connected to a Slave.) For example, to

access the computer plugged into port C of the Slave KVM Switch that is plugged into

Port 6 of the Master KVM, type:

left Ctrl + left Ctrl + 6 + C
