Q: 7. when a pc is connected through this switch, during boot are the motherboard bios screens, shown in the monitor? that is the post report, or the boor menu if called for , the bios itself if called for.............I just returned a Tripp Lite 4 port display port switch that would not display any video until the windows welcome screen which is when the windows video drivers take over...... A switch that will not display the motherboard bios...has no value...Tech support had no comment...these PC worked perfectly with a StarTach switch...so no issue with the PCs

A: Yes, this switch should do the trick. I use this switch for my work laptop, which uses disk encryption and won't boot windows until a password is entered. I also have my desktop machine connected to the switch and see the BIOS splash screen and on occasion I've interrupted the boot process via keyboard (connected to the switch) to modify the BIOS setting. I hope this info helps.
