Abstract: A computer management apparatus is provided for interconnecting a user console including peripheral devices such as a keyboard, a video display unit, a mouse, and speakers for connecting to a plurality of host computers, selectively accessed via the user console (“KVMA cartridge”). The host computers interface with the KVMA cartridge via a removable edge connector with a first set of cables that attach to the plurality of host computers. The KVMA cartridge connects to the edge connector via a leading edge of a circuit board having a plurality of traces on the leading edge with electrical leads connected to a switching circuit within the KVMA cartridge. In one embodiment, the user may increase the length of the first set of cables by inserting an extension cartridge with a second set of cables between the KVMA cartridge and the edge connector with the first set of cables.
