how to install Black Box Secure NIAP 4.0 Certified KVM Switch

• Plan your deployment by mapping each host to its own dedicated input ports and assign a clear console port pairing to maintain strict domain separation and auditability.
• Power down all devices before connection. Connect each host’s HDMI or DisplayPort output to the corresponding input ports on the KVM switch, ensuring cables are securely seated and routed to minimize strain.
• Attach USB peripherals and CAC readers to the switch’s USB ports, then connect the console devices (keyboard, mouse, and monitor) to the designated console ports on the KVM switch. Verify physical security of all connections.
• Power up the switch first, followed by the connected hosts, and use the on‑board menu or management software to verify that each host is recognized and isolated as intended.
• Configure security policies and profile rules per organizational NIAP‑compliant requirements. Perform test sessions across all hosts to confirm correct isolation, user authentication, and seamless switching between domains.
