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
IBM Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II Installation Instructions
You will need a medium flat-blade screwdriver and a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to install the Flat Panel

console server selector switch for further information about those products.
Note: The illustrations in this documentation might be slightly different from your hardware.
The following general steps are required to install the Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II. You can skip
steps that do not apply or have already been performed.

space is available for the tray and the Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II.

Removing the existing flat panel monitor stand
Use the following steps to remove the existing flat panel monitor stand from your monitor:
1. Unplug the flat panel monitor and disconnect the power cord from the flat panel monitor power supply.
2. Carefully use a flat-blade screwdriver to pry the bottom of the cable cover 1 up and remove it. Save
the cable cover for later reinstallation.

3. Squeeze the sides of the hinge cover 2 and remove it.
Note: Even though this hinge cover is not used with the Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II, do not
discard it. Store it with the other monitor stand parts you remove for possible future use.
4. Gently push the stand cover 3 and slide it backwards until it is completely off the stand.
5. Disconnect the signal cable and power cord from the flat panel monitor. Carefully remove and save
the plastic cable clamp to free the power cord.
Note: The plastic cable clamp is reusable and is needed to secure the power cord after installing the
Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II on the flat panel monitor.
