To connect your computers and peripherals to the iPGARD SA-HDN-2S-P KVM Switch, please follow these steps:

1. Ensure that the power is turned off or disconnected from the unit and the computers.
2. Use DisplayPort or HDMI cables to connect the DisplayPort or HDMI output ports from each computer to the corresponding DP/HDMI IN ports of the unit.
3. Use a USB cable (Type-A to Type-B) to connect a USB port on each computer to the respective USB ports of the unit.
4. Optionally, for CAC models, connect a CAC (Common Access Card, Smart Card Reader) to the CAC port in the user console interface.
5. Optionally, connect a stereo audio cable (3.5 mm to 3.5 mm) to connect the audio output of the computer(s) to the audio in ports of the unit.
6. Connect the monitor(s) to the DP/HDMI OUT console port of the unit using DisplayPort or HDMI cable(s).
7. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the two USB console ports.
8. Optionally, connect stereo speakers to the audio out port of the unit.
9. Finally, power on the secure KVM switch by connecting a 12-VDC power supply to the power connector, and then turn on all the computers.

Note: You can connect one monitor to the single-head KVM switch. The computer connected to port 1 will always be selected by default after power up. Note: You can connect up to 2 computers to the 2-port KVM.
