Usb Kvm Cables
Do I HAVE to turn off all devices before plugging in an hdmi, dvi, or kvm switch?
I have a laptop that I connect to my tv through an hdmi cable, and when I'm not doing that I connect it to a shared monitor using a kvm switch (which uses a dvi and usb connection). The installation instructions suggest powering off everything before plugging or unplugging, which can get annoying some times. Is it totally necessary?
Thanks
Not really,
The fact that the KVM itself has a power source does create a tiny risk, but chances are you will not do any damage as all the components are designed to be hot-swappable.
They just tell you to do that so they are not liable for any possible damages caused from doing so.
