Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™ Rackmount
Console KVM Switch, Model 521796 (15” LCD, 8-port); Model 521871 (15” LCD,
16-port); Model 523561 (17” LCD, 8-port); or Model 523578 (19” LCD, 8-port).
With a keyboard mouse, LCD panel and KVM switch module housed in an industrystandard 19” 1U- or 2U-height rack drawer, the console saves you up to a third of the
space needed for a rack cabinet. Plus, when the console is cascaded with other KVM
switch modules to increase server management capacity, you save even more space.
All KVM switch modules come with a universal CEN36 connector for connection
between the console drawer and a KVM switch module. This modularized design
offers maximum flexibility, as you can choose and swap the modules to fit your
needs. A KVM switch module can also be used as an independent KVM switch.
This quick installation guide shows you how to assemble and position the rackmount
console. (For instructions, features and specifications for the switch itself, refer to the
separate Rackmount Console KVM Switch user manual.) Follow the steps for quick
and easy installation and you’ll soon be enjoying these additional popular features:
• Flip-open 15”/17”/19” LCD panels support resolutions of 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024.
• Compatible with rack cabinets with depths of 20” (50cm) and up (with
appropriate rear bracket & extension kit).
• Standard 19” 1U rack drawer.
• Ergonomic handrest design.
• Locking mechanism locks the drawer when pulled out, pushed in or folded down.
• Full 105-key, low-profile, sturdy keyboard included.
• Ultra-sturdy, tilt-free, two-piece rear bracket and extension design.
• On-screen display (OSD) control and adjustment.

Rear Bracket and Extension Kit:
Each Rackmount Console KVM Switch
features a rear bracket and extension
kit, which includes two pieces of rear
brackets and two pieces of extensions.
The enclosed kit fits cabinet depths of
67.5 – 80.5 cm (26 5/8 – 31 5/8”), as
measured between the inside of a rack cabinet’s front
and rear uprights. As shown at right, the brackets and
extensions come in different lengths, and will vary
depending on the model.
Assembly
1. Choose a proper position
for the rack drawer. Mount
the rear brackets (from the
rear bracket and extension
kit), and loosely fasten
them onto the rear vertical
uprights of the cabinet as
shown. Both will be
removed later.

2. Remove the safety stopper
from the console drawer.
CAUTION: The safety stopper is designed to prevent
the drawer from sliding out
during transportation: Once
it’s removed, the drawer may
slide out when tilted and
cause serious injury or damage.
3. Slide the console drawer
into the rack cabinet from
the front and insert the two
slide rails of the console
drawer into the sleeves of
the rear brackets.
4. Fasten the console drawer
to the outside of the front
vertical uprights using the
four screws provided. The
metal brackets (as indicated
by the far arrow) support the
rear side of the console.
NOTE: The image at right is a front (console drawer-side)
view.
5. Remove both of the rear
brackets and slide the
console drawer out halfway
to balance its weight. At this
point, the front brackets hold
the console drawer. NOTE: The image at right is a rear
(KVM switch module-side)
view.

6. Attach the extensions (from the
rear bracket and extension
kit) to both sides of the KVM
switch module. NOTE: For a 2U module (Model 521871),
the extensions are mounted
to the lower half of the
module. In the inset at right,
you can also see that the wider lip is the top of the plastic extension.
7. The rear brackets, extensions and slide rails need to fit tightly. As shown
above-left, slide the rear brackets onto the extensions. Then, as shown above right, insert both sliding rails of the console drawer into the tight space
formed by the rear brackets and the extensions. Holding the KVM switch
module on both sides, push it in evenly.
8. Push the rear brackets all the
way in and fasten them
securely.
9. Slide the console drawer
out to gain access to the
connecting screws. Push the
KVM switch module evenly
toward the connector
attached to the console
drawer and lock both units
together by tightening the
screws indicated by the
arrows.
