Remote-Management Features
The Switch allows one user to access and control multiple servers from a local
console, or from any remote console over a TCP/IP connection.
Web-Browser Based
You can access the Switch from any computer connected to the LAN, WAN, or
The Switch allows you to remotely access the basic input/output system (BIOS)
of your servers to make changes and perform reboots, regardless of network
connectivity or server condition.
The web-based interface allows you to set up and change the Switch’s
functions quickly and easily through your web browser, without having to install
additional software onto your computer.
Serial-Device Support
The Switch provides support for one serial device, such as a power distribution
unit (PDU), so you can remotely perform hard reboots of your servers.
The Switch provides 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption and
password protection to prevent unauthorized access to your servers and
protect data transferred over the Internet.

Pre-Configuration
(Typical Switch configuration)
Where to place the Switch:
The enclosure of the Switch is designed for stand-alone or rack-mount
configuration. The Switch can be mounted to a standard 19-inch server rack
using the included rack-mount brackets and screws.

VGA signals transmit best up to 100 feet (30m). Beyond that length, the
probability of video degradation increases. For this reason, Belkin recommends
that the length of the CAT5 UTP cable between the Switch and the connected
servers does not exceed 100 feet (30m).
Note:
The Belkin CAT5 Extender (F1D084vea2) may be used to extend your
console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor) by up to 300 feet (91m).
Warning:
Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning
equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).
You are now ready to begin installation of your Switch. The following
sections (pages 13–22) provide complete instructions for the hardware
setup of a single Switch (F1DP108Gea, F1DP116Gea).

The Switch includes adjustable mounting brackets ideal for installation in
allow you to set the Switch’s face flush with the ends of the rails, or to extend the
Switch past the front of the rails. Please follow these simple steps to achieve the
desired adjustment.
Determine how far you would like the Switch to protrude from the rack.
Select a bracket-hole scheme.
Attach the bracket to the side of the Switch using the Phillips screws
provided. (Refer to diagram below.)
Mount the Switch to the rack rails. (Refer to diagram below.)
Your Switch is now mounted securely to the rack and you are ready to

If you have not already done so, power on all servers connected to
the Switch (servers can be powered on simultaneously). The Switch
emulates both a mouse and keyboard on each port and allows
your server to boot normally. The server connected to port 1 will be
displayed on the monitor.
Check that the keyboard, monitor, and mouse are working normally.
Using the port selectors, check all occupied ports to verify that all
servers are connected and responding correctly. If you encounter an
error, check your cable connections for that server and reboot. If the
problem persists, please refer to the “Troubleshooting” section in this
