Compatibility
This KVM switch is designed to work with computers and peripherals utilizing DisplayPort video connections and USB HID (Human Interface Device) for keyboard and mouse input. It supports secure operation with systems that require physical isolation, such as those found in classified environments. Specific compatibility is assured with systems adhering to the DPH interface standard for video, USB, and power. It is built for secure, dedicated workstations where system-to-system data transfer must be prevented.
Installation Notes
The Vertiv SC840DPH-400 requires standard DisplayPort cables for video and USB Type-A to Type-B cables for peripheral connectivity. Ensure that all connected computers are powered off before making connections to prevent potential hardware damage or data corruption.
