How to install Black Box Secure KVM Switch - DVI-I

To deploy the Black Box Secure KVM Switch effectively, begin by planning the console layout and ensuring your environment aligns with the security and performance needs of your facility. Connect each host computer to the switch using appropriate DVI-I video cables and USB connections for keyboard and mouse, ensuring clean cable management to minimize interference and simplify future maintenance. Attach your monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the console side of the switch so that a single workstation can control all connected hosts. Provide power to the switch as specified by the product’s requirements, then power on the connected hosts and the console. Use the front-panel controls or the configured keyboard hotkeys to cycle through the connected computers, validating that video and input devices are correctly routed to each host. If your environment supports it, configure additional security features or management policies in accordance with your organization’s security standards, and verify that sensitive data remains isolated to the intended host during every switch. Finally, document your setup for future audits and ensure routine checks are scheduled to maintain ongoing secure operation.
