Installation
Pre-Configuration
Consider the following when deciding where to place the OmniView LCD Rack Console with Built-In PRO3 KVM Switch:
• the location of your servers in relation to your console
• the lengths of the cables you use to connect your servers
to the LCD Rack Console
Cable-Distance Requirements: For PS/2 Servers:
VGA signals transmit best up to 25 feet (7.6m). Beyond that length, the
probability of video degradation increases. For this reason, Belkin recommends that the length of the cables between the LCD Rack Console and the connected
servers does not exceed 25 feet (7.6m).
For USB Servers:
USB signals can be transmitted up to 15 feet (4.5m) between the LCD Rack
Console and server. Beyond that length, the probability of USB-signal failure is likely, and may cause the device to fail.
Note: The Belkin OmniView CAT5 Extender, F1D084 (PS/2) and F1D086U (USB),
may be used to extend your console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor) by up to 300 feet (91m).
Cautions and Warnings!
Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).
Before attempting to connect anything to the LCD Rack Console or your servers, ensure that everything is powered off. Plugging and unplugging cables while
servers are powered on may cause irreversible damage of the servers and/or the
LCD Rack Console. Belkin is not responsible for damage caused in this way.
You are now ready to begin installation of your LCD Rack Console. The following sections (pages 11–13) provide complete instructions for the hardware setup of a single LCD Rack Console (F1DC108B-DR, F1DC116B-DR).
