The DKVM-16 draws power from the power adapter and the PC's PS/2 port. Some PC's PS/2 port can support enough power for the switch, but some PS/2 ports (such as those on laptops) are unable to supply enough power for the switch. In order to make sure the system works properly, please do not turn the power switch off or remove the power adapter from the switch.

Although the PCs connected to the DKVM-16 are able to support enough power to the switch, the DKVM-16 requires a power adapter to daisychain more banks.
