Introduction and installation overview
With the IBM Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II, you can install an IBM T540, T54, or T55 flat panel
monitor inside your rack cabinet. The monitor sits in a compatible keyboard tray, as shown in Figure 7 on
page 6, which also stores a space-saver keyboard. You can also mount a console switch above the tray
to attach more than one server to the flat panel monitor and keyboard.
Note: There is no room to store a mouse in the keyboard tray after installing the rack mounting kit.
Because the space-saver keyboard has a built-in pointing device, a mouse is not required.
The Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II comes with the following parts:
One base with preinstalled hinge assembly
One new hinge cover
One power supply spacer
One monitor mounting hardware package
Two console server selector switch mounting brackets
One switch mounting hardware package

Installing an optional console switch
You can use a console switch to attach more than one server to a single monitor and space-saver
keyboard. The console switch option is available separately, but additional mounting brackets come with
the Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II. You can use mounting brackets that come with the console
switch to mount it vertically in the rack cabinet. Instructions for vertical mounting come with the console
switch.
Installing the console switch above the keyboard tray is an alternative to mounting it vertically inside your
rack cabinet. You must use the mounting brackets that come with the Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit
II if you mount the console switch just above the keyboard tray. Enough clearance must exist for the
keyboard tray (and attached flat panel monitor) to slide completely into the rack cabinet.
Use the following procedure to install a console switch above the keyboard tray:
1. Secure the two provided brackets to your console switch with two screws per side.

service for the Machine, without charge, under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage and install
engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do
so or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be
refunded. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order.
Extent of Warranty
The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical
or operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible. The
warranty is voided by removal or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.
