how to install IOGEAR 4-Port 4K UHD DisplayPort KVMP with Keyboard and Mouse

Setting up the IOGEAR KVMP is designed to be straightforward, with a plug-and-play approach that fits neatly into existing workstations. Follow these steps to configure your multi-host environment efficiently and reliably.

• Step 1 — Prepare your devices: Power down all computers you plan to connect. Have your DisplayPort cables and USB cables readily available.
• Step 2 — Connect DisplayPort cables: Attach a DisplayPort cable from each computer’s DP output to the corresponding DP input on the KVMP unit. This creates the video channels that you will cycle through using the front-panel button.
• Step 3 — connect the monitor: Connect a DisplayPort cable from the KVMP’s DP output to your display. This ensures that whichever computer you switch to will be routed to your monitor with 4K fidelity at 30Hz.
• Step 4 — connect USB peripherals: Plug your keyboard and mouse into the KVMP’s USB ports. This centralizes control so the same peripherals work across all four connected computers.
• Step 5 — power and verification: If your KVMP requires an external power source, connect it, then power on all devices. Use the front-panel button to cycle through the four computers and verify each display and input responds correctly.
• Step 6 — optimize and test: Adjust monitor settings as needed for best 4K presentation, then test practical tasks such as window management, dragging files between machines (if supported by your environment), and ensuring uninterrupted KVM control during routine workflows.
