Unboxing

The USB 2.0 4 Port KVM Auto Switch arrives in a rectangular box with the device pictured in a black rectangle in the top right corner, below this box is a diagram of features and the model number. On the left hand side is a blurb about the device.

On the back of the box, there is a list of features and a diagram showing how the KVM hooks to up to four computers.

Inside the package, one finds the USB 2.0 4 Port KVM Auto Switch in a bubble wrap baggie and an instruction sheet, unfortunately the instruction sheet is written in Chinese. So for installation, you will be on your own, although, it is relatively simple to set up as I will describe in the next section.

The device is composed of a clear turquoise blue plastic material, it is rectangular in shape and measures 7.5” x 3” x 1”.

The shorter sides have the input ports for your monitor/USB/keyboard/audio devices. One side accepts the VGA cable, the opposite side has two USB inputs, a PS/2 keyboard connector, a 3.5 mm mic input and audio output.

The longer sides feature the output ports for the KVM device. Each side has two sets of outputs for video/audio/keyboard and type B USB connector. The USB connector requires a standard USB A to B cable most commonly used to connect printers.

The top of the KVM has labels for most of these inputs. In the center are four lights, that indicate which computer is using the keyboard, video and monitor at the moment. Central to these lights is a manual selector button, which enables the user to switch between various PCs
