How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 8-Port 1U Rack-Mount USB/PS2 KVM Switch with On-Screen Display

Installing the Tripp Lite 8-Port KVM switch is designed to be straightforward and quick, minimizing downtime so you can return to configuring your environment. Follow these practical steps to ensure a clean, stable, and efficient setup that scales with your servers and workstations:

1) Prepare the rack and workspace. Choose a secure, well-ventilated location in a standard 19-inch rack. Confirm there is enough airflow around the unit to prevent overheating and that cables will reach each connected host and the console without tension.

2) Mount the switch. Use the provided rack-mount hardware to secure the 1U unit into the rack rails. Ensure the device sits level and that excess cable slack will not put stress on any connectors during normal operation or rack movement.

3) Connect each computer to the KVM ports. Attach a dedicated USB or PS/2 cable set from each computer to its corresponding port on the switch. Label ports clearly to simplify future maintenance and port identification as your infrastructure grows or changes over time.

4) Attach the console devices. Connect your keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the KVM switch’s console ports. If your environment uses multiple monitors or non-standard display configurations, verify video resolutions and EDID compatibility across all connected hosts to ensure consistent output.

5) Power up and configure the switch. Connect the power supply and power on the unit. Use the On-Screen Display to label each connected computer, customize port names, and set any preferred switching behavior such as auto-scan order or hot-key sequences. If available, review any firmware updates and apply them to maximize stability and compatibility with hosts.

6) Test the setup. Verify keyboard and mouse input, monitor output, and responsive switching between hosts via the OSD, front-panel controls, and any configured hot-keys. Confirm basic tasks like console logins, file transfers, or shared peripherals operate as intended across all eight ports.

7) Tidy and secure cabling. Route cables neatly, secure with ties or clips, and document your port mappings for future expansion or troubleshooting. Regularly check connections to prevent accidental unplugging during routine maintenance or routine rack reconfigurations.

Good Pillows to Show Off Decorative Pillow Shams
Size: Queen - 20"*30" (pack of 2), Color: Grey
Although we have queen-sized beds, we typically use standard-sized pillows. One of the quilt sets I got this Christmas time came with queen sized pillow shams, and the standard pillows just didn't fill them properly. I could have sewn flanges on either side of the shams, but I decided to order these pillows instead. The are almost wide enough to fully fill those shams that started all this additional purchasing. (I also ended up ordering pillow protectors for the queen sized pillows.) The pillows are fluffy and substantial for now. My husband manages to flatten out pillows almost no matter how they start our. For now, so far so good. They re a medium-weight and fullness, I would say. They do a good job of showing off the pillow sham design, so that's a plus. I'm not planning for us to sleep on them, but they are added back support while watching TV. They are primarily for decorative purposes when the bed is made with the quilt and shams. They were a reasonable value for the intended purpose.
