Hardware Setup

Before You Begin

Tampering prevention and detection

1. The ATEN Secure KVM Switch and the optional Remote Port Selector (RPS) include

tamper-evident tape to provide visual indications of intrusion to the switch/ RPS enclosure. If the

tamper-evident seal is missing, peeled, or looks as if it has been adjusted, avoid using the product

and contact your ATEN dealer.

2. The ATEN Secure KVM Switch and ATEN RPS are equipped with active always-on chassis

intrusion detection:

- If a mechanical intrusion is detected on the switch, the switch (without RPS connected) will

be permanently disabled and all the front panel LEDs (except the Power LED) will flash

continuously.

- If a mechanical intrusion is detected by the RPS (connected with the switch and aligned), this

will permanently disable both the RPS itself and the switch, and all LEDs (on RPS) and the

front panel LEDs except the Power LED (on switch) will flash continuously.

If the switch or RPS enclosure appears breeched or all the LEDs are flashing continuously, stop

using it, remove it from service immediately and contact your ATEN dealer.

3. Any attempt to open the switch or RPS enclosure will activate the chassis intrusion detection

security, which will render it inoperable and void the warranty.

4. The ATEN Secure KVM Switch cannot be upgraded, serviced or repaired.

5. The ATEN Secure KVM Switch and ATEN RPS contain an internal battery which is

non-replaceable. Never attempt to replace the battery or open the switch or RPS enclosure.

Always use qualified and authorized peripheral devices

1. For security, the ATEN Secure KVM Switch supports only standard USB devices (or pointing

device). Do not connect a wireless keyboard/mouse, or any keyboard/mouse with an internal USB

Tamper-evident seal

ATTENTION

If the tamper-evident seal is missing or peeled, avoid using the product and contact your

ATEN dealer.

If all front panel LEDs on the Secure KVM Switch (except Power) flash continuously, all

Remote Port Selector (RPS) LEDs flash, or either enclosure appears breached, avoid using

the product and contact your ATEN dealer.

The Secure KVM Switch and the Remote Port Selector (RPS) are equipped with active

always-on chassis intrusion detection security. Any attempt to open the enclosure will

permanently disable the switch/ RPS, and void the warranty.
