Introduction
Overview
The KL9108 and KL9116 Dual Rail LCD KVM Switches are control units that allow secure access to multiple computers from a single KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse), console. A single KL9108 or KL9116 can control up to 8 or 16 computers, respectively. They consist of an integrated LCD monitor, keyboard, and touchpad in a in a 1U rack-mountable retractable sliding housing.
The LCD and keyboard/touchpad modules slide independently of each other. To maximize space in your data center, the keyboard/touchpad module slides back to "hide away" when not in use, while the thin profile LCD monitor rotates back – flush against the rack – allowing convenient monitoring of computer activity.
The KL9108 / KL9116 features IP-based connectivity that allows one local operator and multiple remote operators to concurrently monitor and access the computers on your installation. Because the it uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, the KL9108 / KL9116 can be accessed from any computer on the LAN, WAN, or Internet – whether that computer is located down the hall, down the street, or halfway around the world.

KL9108 / KL9116 User Manual
For added convenience, ports for an external keyboard, monitor, and mouse are provided on the rear panel – permitting you to manage the switch from a local console up to 20 meters away. There is also an external PS/2 mouse port on the keyboard module, allowing you to use an external mouse, rather than the touchpad.
Access to any computer connected to the installation from the local console is easily accomplished by means of a powerful mouse driven graphical OSD (On Screen Display) menu system. A convenient Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the activities of all computers running on the installation one by one.
Remote operators connect to the KL9108 / KL9116 via its IP address from anywhere on the LAN, WAN, or Internet via their browsers. Once they successfully log in, they can take control using either the Windows Client or Java Client utility. Inclusion of a Java-based client ensures that the KL9108 / KL9116 is platform independent, and is able to work with most operating systems.
System administrators can handle a multitude of maintenance tasks smoothly and efficiently – from installing and running GUI applications, to BIOS level troubleshooting, routine monitoring, concurrent maintenance, system administration, rebooting and even pre-booting functions – all from a remote connection.
Remote operators can exchange keyboard, video and mouse signals with the computers attached to the KL9108 / KL9116 just as if they were present locally and working on the equipment directly.
Enhanced features include a Panel Array Mode that displays the video output of up to 8 (KL9108) or 16 (KL9116) computers at the same time, and a Message Board that allows logged in users to conveniently and instantly communicate with one other – no matter where in the world they actually are.
The KL9108 / KL9116 utilizes high density 15-pin KVM port connectors instead of the usual 25-pin connectors. This space-saving innovation allows a full 8 / 16 port switch to be conveniently installed in one unit of system rack space.
Setup is fast and easy - plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. Because the KL9108 / KL9116 intercepts keyboard input directly, there is no need to get involved in complex installation routines or to be concerned with incompatibility problems.

|
|
specifically modified so that only custom KVM cables |
|
|
designed to work with this switch can plug in. (See Cables, |
|
|
page 6, for details.) Do NOT attempt to use ordinary 15-pin |
|
|
VGA connector cables to link these ports to the computers. |
|

Note: 1. It takes two people to mount the switch: one to hold it in place, the other to screw it in.
2.The standard rack mounting kit does not include screws or cage nuts. If you need additional screws or cage nuts, contact your rack dealer.
3.Optional mounting kits – including single person Easy Installation kits – are available with a separate purchase. See Optional Rack Mounting, page 161, for details.

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup
To rack mount the switch, do the following:
1.While one person positions the switch in the rack and holds it in place, the second person loosely screws the front brackets to the rack.
2.While the first person still holds the switch in place, the second person slides the L brackets into the switch's side mounting brackets, from the rear until the bracket flanges contact the rack, then screws the L brackets to the rack.
3. After the L brackets have been secured, tighten the front bracket screws.
Note: Allow at least 5.1 cm on each side for proper ventilation, and at least 12.7 cm at the back for the power cord and cable clearance.

Single Stage Installation
In a Single Stage installation, there are no additional switches daisy chained down from the first unit. To set up a single stage installation, refer to the installation diagram on the following page (the numbers in the diagram correspond to the numbers of the installation steps) and do the following:
1.(Optional) If you choose to install an external console, plug your keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the Console Ports located on the KL9108 / KL9116’s rear panel. The ports are color coded and marked with an icon to identify themselves.
2.Using a KVM cable set (see Cables, page 6), plug the custom SPHD (yellow) connector into any available KVM port on the switch.
3.At the other end of the cable, plug the keyboard, video (blue), and mouse connectors into their respective ports on the computer.
4.Plug the cable from the LAN into the LAN port on the KL9108 / KL9116’s rear panel.
5.Connect the power cord provided with this package to an AC source and the KL9108 / KL9116’s power socket.
Repeat steps 2 – 5 for any other computers you wish to install.
After you are all cabled up, you can power on the switch. After the switch is powered on, power on the computers.
Note: Although the KL9116 is pictured in the diagram, the installation process is the same for the KL9108.

Two Stage Installation
To expand the number of computers that can be controlled in your KVM installation, up to 8 (KL9108), or 16 (KL9116) additional KVM switches can be cascaded from the KL9108 / KL9116’s KVM ports. As many as 64 (KL9108) or 128 (KL9116) computers can be controlled in a complete two stage installation.
In a two stage installation, the KL9108 / KL9116 is considered the first stage unit; the cascaded switches are considered second stage units.
Note: The KVM switch shown in the installation example is the KH98.
See Supported KVM Switches, page 165, for a complete list of switches that can be cascaded from the KL9108 / KL9116.
To set up a two stage installation, refer to the Two Stage Installation diagram on the next page, and do the following:
1.Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up, including all preexisting devices on the installation, have been turned off.
2.Use a KVM cable set (see Cables, page 6), to connect any available KVM Port on the First Stage unit to the Console ports of the Second Stage unit.
3.Use KVM cable sets (as described in the Cables section of the user manual for the cascaded KVM switch) to connect any available KVM port on the cascaded KVM switch to the keyboard, video, and mouse ports of the computers you are installing.
4.Plug the power cord that came with the cascaded KVM switch into its power socket, and then into an AC power source.
(Repeat Steps 2–4 for any additional KVM switches that you wish to cascade from the KL9108 / KL9116.)
5.Power on the KL9108 / KL9116.
6.Power on the cascaded KVM switches.
7.Power on the computers.
