Introduction

The D-Link DKVM-16 is a Keyboard, Video and Mouse KVM switch that allows you to control up to 16 server computers using one keyboard, mouse, and monitor. It is easy to use, powerful, and scalable. Each DKVM-16 port has a dedicated microprocessor to intelligently manage port traffic and allows simultaneous boot-ups for all attached PCs. The advanced microprocessor technology also saves CAPSLOCK, NUMLOCK, and

SCROLL LOCK status for each PC. Two control buttons located on the front panel give you one touch access to your attached PCs and the user-friendly on-screen display menu allows you to configure your DKVM-16 switch’s settings. The daisy chain port allows up to 8 DKVM-16 KVM switches to be stacked together for controlling as many as 128 computers. Featuring hotplug, auto-scan, keyboard hot keys and audible feedback, the DKVM-16 makes it simple to manage all of your server computers.

The DKVM-16 supports VGA, SVGA, and MultiSync monitors at up to 1920 X

1440 resolution. Integrated mouse conversion technology allows older AT type computers with serial mouse ports to be connected to the DKVM-16 using the included serial-to-PS/2 mouse converter. Both AT and PS/2 type keyboards are also supported, as well as the most popular mice, including

Microsoft® IntelliMouse® and Microsoft® IntelliMouse Explorer®.

Hardware Installation (Continued)

WARNING

Make sure that all of your computers are powered off before attempting to connect the cabling to avoid damage to your DKVM-16

Step 1

Find a convenient place to place your DKVM-16. Its 19" rack mount form factor makes it mountable on a 19" rack. When mounting to a rack, attach the included brackets to the side panels of the DKVM-16. Take note of the length of your cables so that your computers, DKVM-16, keyboard, mouse, and monitor are distanced properly.

Step 2

Connect the monitor console to the DKVM-16. Connect the attached cable, or the one included with your monitor, to the HD DB-15 female port, labeled with the monitor symbol at the CONSOLE connector on the back of the DKVM-16.

7

Hardware Installation (Continued)

Step 3

Connect the keyboard console to the DKVM-16. If you have an AT type keyboard, you will need an AT to PS/2 adapter.

Step 4

Connect the mouse console to the DKVM-16. If you have an older mouse with

9 pins, you will need to use the 9 to 5 pin mouse converter that is included with the DKVM-16.

8

Hardware Installation (Continued)

Step 5

Connect one end of the included VGA cable (15-pin HDDB Male / Male) to the female connectors on the back of the PC. Connect the other end of the cable to the rear panel of the DKVM-16. This step can be repeated for all PCs.

Back of PC

Step 6

Using the included 3-in-1 cable, locate the mouse connector (green) and connect one end to the PS/2 mouse port on the back panel of the computer, and the other end to the PC1 PS/2 mouse port on the back panel of the DKVM-16.

If there are not enough PS/2 ports on the computer, you can choose a serial port for the mouse connection. Be sure to add a serial to PS/2 converter included with the DKVM-16 before connecting the 3-in-1 cable to the computer.

Step 7

Using the included 3-in-1 cable, locate the keyboard connector (purple) and connect one end to the PS/2 keyboard port on the back panel of the computer, and the other end to the PC1 PS/2 keyboard port on the back panel of the

DKVM-16. If your computer has an AT type keyboard port, you will need to use the PS/2 to AT keyboard adapter included with the DKVM-16.

Back of PC

Step 8

Double-check all of your connections. Make sure that the keyboard and mouse cables are connected to the correct ports.

Step 9

Repeat steps 5 through 8 for the remainder of the computers.

Step 10

Attach the power supply to the DKVM-16 unit and plug the other end into an electrical receptacle. When you see the LED for Port 1 light up and hear a beep, switch on your PCs and monitor.

Note: To maintain stable operation of the DKVM-16, please keep the unit powered using the power adapter when in use, especially when the DKVM-16 is in a daisychain stack.

Hardware Installation (Continued)

Step 11

Now power up all computers simultaneously. The first computer will be shown on the monitor. You may check to see if the mouse, keyboard, and monitor work after the computer has booted up. If this is OK, use the “Select” button to choose the next computer and verify the functionality in the same manner. If you find errors, recheck all cables for proper connections before going to the trouble-shooting section of this manual.

Note: Please do not switch the PC ports (i.e. do not press the “push” button of the

KVM switch or run Hot Key) while the computers are in the boot-up process. Normally, during the boot-up process, each PC will communicate with the keyboard and mouse. If you switch PC ports on the KVM at this time, it will cause communication errors or initialization failures between the PC and keyboard or mouse.

11

Using the DKVM-16

The “Power On” State of the DKVM-16

When you power on the KVM switch, it will prompt you for the password; the default value is eight zeros – “00000000”. Please enter eight zeros and enter the same value in the retype field.

Note: If you are not familiar with the operation of the OSD manual, please do not change the password (i.e. keep the default eight zero value). Otherwise, if you forget your set password, you will need to contact the supplier (D-Link) to have the unit reset.

The Push Buttons

!

recover the lost slave unit.

Although a power supply is not necessary to make the slave unit work, try adding a power supply.

Monitor/VideoProblems

Q: I am getting ghost shadowing or fuzzy images on my monitor.

A:

!

Check the cables and make sure that they are connected properly.

!

Your resolution and/or refresh rate may be extremely high, or your cable may be too long. Replace your VGA cables with coaxial, double-shielded cables.

!

Check to make sure that the power adapter is plugged in and is working properly. Make sure the power switch is on.

!

Lower your refresh rate and/or screen resolution settings.

21

!

Make sure that the keyboard driver is for 101,102, or 104-key keyboards, and not old XT keyboards.

!

Check to make sure that the power adapter is plugged in and is working properly. Make sure that the power switch is on.

PS/2 Mouse Problems

Q: The mouse is not detected during boot up.

A: !

Check the cables and make sure that they are connected properly to the correct ports.

!

Check your computer/motherboard documentation to make sure that the PS/2 mouse port (or IRQ) is enabled.

22

!

Make sure that the mouse is directly plugged into the computer.

Rebooting is necessary when trying this. If the computer still does not detect the mouse, then there is a problem with your computer’s PS/2 mouse port.

Troubleshooting (Continued)

Q: The computer boots up correctly, but the mouse does not work.

A: !

Check the cables and make sure that they are connected properly to the correct ports.

!

Make sure that the mouse works when plugged into the computer. Rebooting is necessary when trying this. If the mouse pointer still does not move, then either your PS/2 mouse port or the mouse itself has a problem.

!

Try using a different mouse.

!

Make sure that the mouse is a true PS/2 mouse. A combo mouse will work just as long as it is set for the PS/2 mode with the correct adapter. A serial-only mouse with a combo mouse adapter

WILL NOT work.

!

Check to make sure that the power adapter is plugged in and is working properly. Make sure that the power switch is on.

Q: When I switch from one port to another, mouse movement is completely

erratic. What do I do?

A: Switch the console port to the problem PC port and power on this PC again to recover the mouse.

Problems with Computers Using Serial Mouse Output

Note: The DKVM-16 has integrated mouse conversion technology. This technology converts the PS/2 mouse signals at the console to serial mouse signals.

Q: The comptuer boots up correctly, but the serial mouse port of the PC does not

work.

A: !

Check the adapter and make sure that it is connected properly to the correct ports.

!

Make sure that the adapter pin is correct.

23

Troubleshooting (Continued)

Q: The wheel on the mouse does not work on my computer.

A: !

Make sure that the mouse is a Microsoft® Intellimouse® or

Microsoft® Intellimouse® Explorer®.

!

The DKVM-16 does not support special wheel functions of certain mice.

Problems with the Power Supply

Q: The power switch is off or the power adapter is unplugged, but the switch

still works.

A:

The DKVM-16 draws power from the power adapter and the PC’s PS/2 port. Some PC’s PS/2 port can support enough power for the switch, but some PS/2 ports (such as those on laptops) are unable to supply enough power for the switch. In order to make sure the system works properly, please do not turn the power switch off or remove the power adapter from the switch.

Although the PCs connected to the DKVM-16 are able to support enough power to the switch, the DKVM-16 requires a power adapter to daisychain more banks.
