start, navigate to the CD-ROM drive in the

the corresponding driver file.

process should only take a few seconds.

Quick Installation
Notes:
1. This USB Peripheral Sharing Switch enables
multiple computers to share one USB device, such
as a USB printer, scanner or hard drive. However,
it does not apply to a mouse or keyboard. If it is
necessary to access multiple computers with one
mouse, keyboard or monitor, use a Tripp Lite KVM
switch.
2. When using the USB Peripheral Sharing Switch to
share a USB storage device, the device must first
be ejected before switching ports (in order to avoid
any data loss).
3. When using Mac OS X, use the ALT + F11 hotkey
to switch the device.
4. It is strongly recommend that the suspend (sleep)
function of the OS is disabled while using the USB
Peripheral Sharing Switch.
