Introduction

The StarTech.com SV231QDVIUA 2 Port Quad Monitor DVI USB KVM Switch with Audio & USB

Hub allows two PCs, each with up to four dual-link DVI video outputs, to share monitors, a

microphone and set of stereo speakers, one keyboard and one mouse as well as one additional

USB peripheral. An ideal solution for graphic designers, CAD/CAM designers or educational and

nancial institutions, the Quad DVI USB KVM Switch allows you to instantly switch back and forth

between quad DVI display PCs at the touch of a button, while maintaining professional level

video quality on both monitors. The quad DVI switch also features an integrated USB hub port

that allows USB 2.0 peripherals such as thumb drives, external hard drives or web cams to be

shared between attached systems - eliminating duplicate peripheral costs.

Installation

NOTE: Prior to the installation, please power o all devices that will be connected to this system.

Ensure that all devices you will connect are properly grounded.

Place cables away from uorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely to

generate electrical noise.

If you experience any problems using a USB KVM switch, the following BIOS setup changes may

be necessary for PC users and not necessary for Mac users:

• Set HALT ON ERROR to ALL BUT KEYBOARD.

• In PNP AND PCI SETUP, set PNP OS INSTALLED to YES and set USB IRQ to ENABLED.

Dierent systems may use dierent naming, so contact your system manufacturer for further

assistance with these settings.

Hardware Installation

*Console Setup

1. Plug up to four monitor(s) into the Console’s DVI connectors; plug a USB keyboard and a USB

mouse into the dedicated USB keyboard and mouse ports on the KVM switch. If using

audio, also connect speakers with 3.5mm mini-jack plugs.

2. Use male-to-male DVI-D video cable(s) to connect the DVI connector(s) on the computer’s

video card, to the DVI ports for one of the KVM’s PC ports (i.e. PC1). NOTE: If using a

screen resolution greater than 1920x1200, dual-link cables are required.

3. Use a USB type A-B Cable to connect the KVM’s USB port (type B, square connector) for

the PC port used in Step 2, and the USB port on the computer (type A, at connector). If using

audio, connect 3.5mm mini-jack cables from the PC port to the sound card.

Instruction Manual 4

NOTE: DVI + USB + Audio KVM combo cables are also available which can be used in place of

separate individual cables

(e.g. StarTech.com ID: DVI4N1USB6)

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each PC port on the KVM switch, or each computer you wish to use

on the KVM.

5. OPTIONAL: Connect any other USB peripheral you wish to share between the connected

computers/devices to the extra USB Hub port on the Console side.

6. Connect the external power adapter from a wall outlet to the power connector on the rear

panel of the KVM switch.

7. Power up the rst computer/device and wait for it to fully boot and test keyboard/mouse

functionality.

8. Once operation has been successfully conrmed, switch to the next port and power up that

computer/device and conrm.

9. Once completed for all computers/devices connected to the KVM switch, you should be able

to switch between ports freely.

Driver Installation

No driver installation is required for the KVM switch, as the keyboard/mouse use USB drivers that

are already installed on any operating system that fully supports USB.

*Computer Setup

Instruction Manual 5

Operation

Front Panel

Port Selection/Link LED

The LED turns green when the connected computer is powered-on. The corresponding LED will

also illuminate red when that PC port is currently selected.

Port Selection Button

Each push of the Selection Button on the front of the KVM switch will immediately switch

between the two ports on the KVM switch.

Hotkey Control

A Hotkey command is a short keyboard sequence for selecting a computer, activating computer

scan, etc. A hotkey sequence starts with two left <CTRL> keystrokes (successively within 0.2

seconds) followed by one or two more keystrokes. A built-in tone generator creates a high-pitch

beep for correct hotkey command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep is generated for errors and the

bad key sequence will not be forwarded to the selected computer.

NOTE: Press and hold Left <SHIFT> and press <NumLock> twice, then release <SHIFT> followed

by pressing left <CTRL> once, which will enable / disable the hotkey feature.

To select a computer:

Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <1>

(Example: Selects the computer at port 1.)

Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <2>

(Example: Selects the computer at port 2.)

NOTE: Do not use the keypad on the right-side of the keyboard.

Instruction Manual 6

Auto Scan

The KVM automatically scans through the powered-on computers in sequence on a xed time

interval (see Scan Time below).

Note: The keyboard and mouse are not operable during Auto Scan.

To start Auto Scan:

Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <F1>

To abort the Auto Scan mode, press the left <CTRL> key twice. When Auto Scan detects any

keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the scanning till the activity stops; it then resumes with

the next computer in sequence. The length of the Auto Scan interval (Scan Time) is adjustable,

see below.

Manual Scan allows users to manually switch back and forth between powered-on computers.

Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <F2>

To select the previous or the next computer, press <UP> or <DOWN> arrow keys. To abort the

Manual Scan, press any other key.

Scan Time

Four options are available for users to set the Scan Time duration, it Includes 3, 8, 15 and 30

seconds.

Note: Scan Time is set to 3 seconds by default.

To adjust Scan Rate, set the scan time of duration before switching to the next computer:

Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <F3>

The KVM Switch generates 1 to 4 beeps indicating a scan time duration for 3, 8, 15 or 30 seconds

respectively.

Instruction Manual 7

Audio Lock

There are two options for Audio Lock: ON and OFF. When ON, audio selection follows computer

selection. When OFF, audio selection stops following computer selection. It is useful if you want

to listen to a particular computer’s audio signal while operating other computers.

Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <F5>

The KVM switch beeps once or twice corresponding to ON and OFF respectively.

To change which computer port the audio stays on to the currently selected port, press the

following hotkey:

Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <A>

Alternative Hotkey Commands

In addition to the Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> hotkeys, there are two alternative hotkey

sequences available.
