Introduction
Overview
The CS1308 / CS1316 KVM switch allows access and control up to 256
computers from a single console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). As many as
16 additional switches can be cascaded bringing the total number of connected
computers to 256 computers that can be controlled from a single keyboard-
monitor-mouse console. Additionally, the CS1308 / CS1316 features a
compact design that allows installation in a 1U system rack.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
needed. The switch supports both USB and PS/2 connections for the console
and computers. The CS1308 / CS1316 intercepts keyboard input directly, thus
eliminating the need for any software configuration. Switching between
computers can be easily accomplished either by manually pressing the front
panel push button port LEDs, entering hotkey combinations from the
keyboard, or via a menu driven multilingual on-screen display (OSD) system.
A convenient auto-scan feature permits automatic scanning and monitoring of
activities on all connected computers. Lastly, the CS1308 / CS1316 offers
benefits such as: a) managing multiple computers from a single console, b)
eliminating the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard, monitor,
and mouse for each computer, c) space and energy costs savings, and d)
helping create a greener environment by reducing the amount of waste.

Components
Front View
Note: The CS1316 is pictured above. The CS1308 / CS1308D front panel is the
same as the CS1316, except that it has 8 KVM port LEDs instead of 16.
No. Component Description
1 Port LEDs These port selection pushbuttons each contain 2 LEDs.
An orange LED indicates that a computer is connected to
the corresponding port.
A green LED indicates that the computer connected to the
corresponding port has focus.
Simultaneously pressing port LEDs 1 & 2 resets the
console keyboard and mouse.
Simultaneously pressing port LEDs 7 & 8 on the CS1308 /
CS1308D, or 15 & 16 on the CS1316, starts Auto Scan
mode. See F7: SCAN, page 29.
2 Reset Button Pressing in this button performs a system reset. When the
system is reset, the CS1308 / CS1316 beeps, and then the
KVM port LEDs flash in succession until the reset is
completed. After the reset is completed you can login again.
Note: This button is semi-recessed and must be pushed with a
small object, such as the end of a paper clip or a ballpoint pen.

Hardware Setup
Overview
The CS1308 / CS1316 is a combo switch designed to work with USB and PS/
2 interfaces. It utilizes custom KVM cables that serve as intermediaries
between the switch and the connected computers. A separate custom KVM
cable is required for each computer connection. Custom cables of various
lengths are listed in the Cables section on page 5. Consult your dealer to find
out which one fit your needs best.
Before You Begin
1. Important safety information regarding the placement of this
device is provided on page 47. Please review it before proceeding.
2. Make sure that the power to any device that you connect to the
installation has been turned off. You must unplug the power cords
of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function.

Stacking and Rack Mounting
The CS1308 / CS1316 can be stacked on a desktop or rack mounted in 1U of
rack space. The procedures are described in the following sections.
Note: 1. Allow at least 5.1 cm on each side for adequate ventilation and
12.7 cm at the rear for power cord and cable clearance.
2. The rack mount kit does not include cage nuts. If you need additional
screws or cage nuts, contact your rack dealer.
3. For instructional purposes, the CS1316 is pictured in the diagrams
that follow. However, the CS1308 is the same as the CS1316, except
that it has 8 KVM ports instead of 16.
Stacking
The CS1308 / CS1316 can be placed on any level surface that can safely
support its weight and the weight of the attached cables. Ensure that the surface
is clean and free of materials that can block the exhaust vents or otherwise
interfere with normal operation of the KVM switch. Peel the protective backing
off of the foot pads, and affix them to the bottom panel of the CS1308 / CS1316
at the corners, as shown in the diagram below.
