Standard Rack Mounting

A standard rack mounting kit is provided with your KL9108/KL9116. The kit enables the switch to be mounted in rack with a depth of 42 - 77 cm.

Note:

1. It takes two people to mount the switch: one to hold it in place; the other to screw it in.

2.Optional mounting kits - including single person Easy Installation kits – are available with a separate purchase.

3. The standard rack mounting kit does not include screws or cage nuts. If you need additional

screws or cage nuts, contact your rack dealer

1. Packing material has been inserted to protect the KL9108/KL9116 during shipping. Slide the LCD module out until the packing material is visible. Remove the packing material before installing the unit, as shown in the diagram below.

2. 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.

3.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.

4. After the L brackets have been secured, tighten the front bracket screws.

1. (Optional) Connect the external console’s monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the console ports on the rear panel of the KVM switch.

2. Using a KVM cable set, plug the custom SPHD connector into any available KVM port on the switch.

3. At the other end of the cable, plug the keyboard, mouse and video cables into their respective ports on the computer. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for any additional computers you are installing.

4. Plug the LAN, WAN or Internet cable into the KL9108 / KL9116's RJ-45 socket.

5. Connect the power cord to the switch and to an AC power source appropriate for the KL9108 / KL9116.

6. Power on the switch.

7. 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.

Once the KL9108 / KL9116 has been installed, the next step that the Administrator needs to perform is to set up the unit for user operation. The most convenient way to do this for the first time is from the local console. After the KL9108 / KL9116 turned on, a login prompt appears on the console monitor: Since

this is the first time you are logging in, use the default Username: administrator; and the default Password: password.

After you successfully log in, the Local Console OSD appears:

The OSD consists of four pages, each with a specific set of functions: Main, Configuration, Administration, and Log.

1. The Main page governs port access. Selecting a port and double-clicking it switches you to the device on that port.

2. The Configuration Page sets the operating parameters for each user.

3. The Log Page brings up the contents of the log file.

4. The Administration Page: When you click the Administration tab, the Administration page comes up. Each of the administrative functions is represented by an icon at the left of the page.

An On Screen Display (OSD) interface governs KL9108 / KL9116 computer control and switching operations. The OSD can be accessed remotely with a Windows-based client or a Java-based client. You must log in via an Internet browser to connect to the KL9108 / KL9116 and to invoke the OSD.

To log in from an Internet browser:

1. Open the browser and specify the IP address of the KL9108 / KL9116 in the URL bar.

Note: If you don’t know the IP address, get it from the KL9108 / KL9116 administrator.

2. When the Security Alert dialog box appears, accept the certificate.

3. A login page appears

4. Provide a valid Username and Password (set up by the KL9108 / KL9116 administrator), then Click Login to continue.

After you have successfully logged in, the KL9108 / KL9116 Main Webpage appears with the General dialog box displayed. You can click the Windows Client button (or Java Client button) to activate the browser-based Windows Client OSD (or Java Client OSD).
