Overview
The CS-74M KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse), Switch is a
control unit that allows the control of up to four computers from
a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). With its
custom designed SCSI-20 CPU port connectors, the CS-74M
significantly reduces the number of ports required for a 4 Port
KVM switch.
The special connector design provides several advantages
over standard KVM switch implementations: 1) increased
reliability; 2) a handsome, space-saving, vertical-standing,
modern appearance; and 3) neater, more efficient, cabling that
eliminates the usual tangled mess.
Recognizing the increased importance of sound in the
computing environment, the CS-74M is audio enabled. A single
microphone can provide audio input to each of the computers,
and you can listen to the audio output of each computer on a
single set of speakers (on a one-at-a-time basis).
There are two convenient methods to access the computers:
push button port selection switches located on the unit’s front
panel; and Hotkey combinations entered from the keyboard.
Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their appropriate
ports. There is no software to configure; no need to get
involved in complex installation routines; no need to be
concerned with incompatibility problems. Since the CS-74M
intercepts keyboard and mouse input directly, it works on
multiple hardware platforms and with most operating systems.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a
CS-74M installation. By allowing a single console to manage
both computers, the CS-74M eliminates the expense of
purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor, mouse, and audio
components for each one. Additionally, it saves the extra space
and energy costs that they would require, and eliminates the
inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly having
to move from one computer to the other.

Installation
Preparation
The CS-74M can either lay flat on the desktop or stand upright.
To have it stand upright, place it in the mounting stand. Make
sure that the long end of the stand is to the rear.
To keep the unit from sliding around or scratching the desktop,
attach the silicone mounting pads that have been included with
this package to the bottom panel of the switch, or the bottom of
the mounting stand. The circular depressions show you where
the pads should go.

1. Before you begin, make sure that power to all the
devices you will be connecting up have been
turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any
computers that have the Keyboard Power On
function. Otherwise, the switch will receive power
from the computer.
2. To prevent damage to your installation due to ground
potential difference, make sure that all devices on the
installation are properly grounded.

To connect up, refer to the diagrams on page 8 as you do the
following:
1. Plug your keyboard and mouse into their respective
connectors on the CS-74M’s front panel.
2. Plug your monitor, microphone, and speakers into their
respective connectors on the CS-74M’s rear panel.
3. Use the custom KVM cables (described in the Cables
section on p. 3), to connect the CS-74M CPU Ports to the
monitor, keyboard and mouse ports of the computers you
are installing.
4. For stability, use one of the Cable Keepers (provided with
your purchase) to wrap around the KVM cable and stick it to
the desktop.
5. If you choose to use external power, plug the power adapter
into an AC power source, then plug the power adapter cable
into the unit’s Power Jack.
Note: The power adapter should be DC9V with the inside
positive and the outside negative:
