Connect the included KVM cables between the console and target servers, and attach the USB and power cables to the appropriate ports.

Recommendations

Place the console at an accessible rack height to avoid repetitive bending during frequent use. Ensure adequate ventilation in the rack and route cables to prevent strain on connectors. Use the supplied KVM cables for reliable signal transmission and keep the OSD settings at a comfortable brightness and contrast for long-term monitoring tasks.
