Warm Tips:
If one of your computers operates on BIOS, you need turn off all your computer, and start by turning on that computer, entering your password, logging into the system, and waiting for the display. Then, switch to the 2rd computer and turn it on. If both computers are BIOS-based, follow this sequence: start by powering on the KVM, then switch on the first BIOS computer, enter your password, log into the system, switch the KVM to the second computer, and finally, turn on the second BIOS computer. In summary, avoid starting both BIOS computers simultaneously, as it may cause issues like a black screen or disable your keyboard and mouse.

Warm Tips:
1. This KVM switch is without emulation EDID function. Windows size and location may be changed after switching between computers;
2. This KVM switch requires each of your computers with 2 or multi-video output. If your computer only with 1 video output, that only 1 monitor has display;
3. If you want to get 8K30Hz or 4K144Hz resolution, your devices(include computers, docking station, adapter) all should support that resolution. The KVM switch is like a bridge for transferring computers' signals to monitors, it can't change your devices' resolution. For example, your computers and monitors all support 4K144Hz, but one of your computers needs to use an adapter, and this adapter only supports 4K60Hz, then this computer only supports 4K60Hz but not 4K144Hz.
