NTI RACKMUX-V15/17/20 RACKMOUNT LCD MONITOR WITH KEYBOARD AND MOUSE
INTRODUCTION
The RACKMUX-V15/17/20 Drawer (RACKMUX) consists of a Keyboard, Touchpad, and LCD monitor integrated into a
1RU rack-mountable drawer with wrist pads. When access to a server rack is needed, the drawer can be pulled out and the
display lifted up like a notebook computer, revealing the keyboard and mouse. When the drawer is not in use, the display can be
folded forward and down so the 1RU drawer can be pushed into the cabinet easily and smoothly, helping to organize and
streamline busy server rooms. The NTI RACKMUX product line offers a range of KVM Drawer solutions ideal for rack and server
management applications, which will ensure reliability and serviceabi lity.
The RACKMUX will switch between USB and PS/2 standar ds for versatile connection to a CPU. The forward-folding LCD
monitor is offered in either 15”, 17”, or 20” (designate d in the product name as -15 ,-17 o r -20) and the video format can be either
VGA or single-link DVI (designated by –V or –D: example RACKMUX-V15). For user input, the drawer offers a notebook-style
keyboard, wrist-pad, and a three-button touchpad. The keyboar d and mouse can be connected using U SB and PS/2 cables. USB
and PS/2 interfaces will remain active at all times and the keyboard and mouse can be switched, at any time, to use either one.
The RACKMUX-V15/-V17/-V20 also provides a front panel USB 1.1 p ort for the connection of a n external USB device (such as a
flash drive).
The keyboard and mouse interface is compatible with Windows platform CPUs. This multiple interface capability reduces
equipment costs by ensuring that a single console is compatible with various PC/server input devices.
Installing the RACKMUX into any server environment will offer:
• A space saving 1RU design, easily mountable in any 19” cabinet/rack
• A forward-folding 15”,17”, or 20” TFT LCD with built-in OSD menu for screen adjustments
• Auto shut-OFF switch: Turns OFF the power to the monitor when the LCD is in a folded-closed position.
• Built-in 83-key (US) or 84-key (Europe) keyboard with wrist pad
• Standard 3-button mouse touchpad
• Support for PS2 and USB con nections for the keyboard and mouse.
• Support for VGA (15”, 17”or 20” model) or single-link DVI signals (17” model only)

INSTALLATION
The following rack mounting instruction does not apply to RACKMUX units with 20 inch LCD monitors. For mounting instruction
applicable to models with 20 inch LCD monitors, see “Installation Manual For Drawer with 20 Inch LCD Monitor” on the CD.
Rack Mounting Instructions
The RACKMUX was designed to be mounted to a rack and includes mounting flanges to make attachment easy.
1. Determine the mounting height in the rack for the drawer. It should be a height comfortable to use the keyboard and see the
LCD display. Mark holes in each of the 4 corner cabinet rails at points all level with each other.
2. Secure the rear brackets to the rear rack cabinet rails. Apply the top screws (supplied) for each bracket to the holes marked in
step 1.
3. Lift the keyboard into position and line the studs on the left and right sides up with the slotted openings in the rear bracket.
Apply the nuts (supplied) to the studs but do not tighten the nuts yet.
FYI: There are 4 mounting studs provided on each side of the RACKMUX. Depending on the depth of the rack and
distance apart of the cabinet rails, the position of the rear bracket may make all 4 studs available for use. In this case,
apply the 2 nuts to the studs furthest apart from each other on each side.
4. Slide the drawer in until the top holes in the front bracket flanges line up with the holes marked in step 1. Secure the front
brackets on the drawer to the front cabinet rails with two screws per bracket. Be sure to tighten the screws securely. Then
tighten the nuts applied in step 3.
5. Apply one more screw to each of the rear brackets to finish.

KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS
The keyboard on the RACKMUX-Vxx is a standard condensed Windows format. To reduce the keyboard size, some keys have
been assigned multiple functions, accessible via the "Fn" key. This section will describe which keys have multiple functions and
how to enable them. Use the LEDs to know what special features are enabled.
Function Key Operation
The Function (“Fn”) key provides several special functions on the RACKMUX keyboard, including:
enabling otherwise standard keyboard keys to be used as the keys of a numeric keypad
enabling multi-function keys to change operation
enabli ng the “T” key to act as a mode key to toggle between USB and PS/2 keyboard/mouse mode
To turn ON (lock) the Function key, press the “Fn” key twice quickly (double-click). The “Fn” LED will illuminate.
To turn OFF (unlock) the Function key, press the “Fn” key twice quickly again. The “Fn” LED will turn OFF.
Note: The "Fn" key will also operate similar to the shift key (with only momentary effect). Press and hold the "Fn" key
prior to pressing the special function key. The "Fn" key will remain active as long as it is depressed.
