INTRODUCTION

The RACKMUX-V15/17 Drawer (RACKMUX) consists of a Keyboard, Touchpad, and LCD monitor integr ated 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 displa y
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.

INSTALLATION

Rack Mounting Instructions

The RACKMUX was designed to be mounted to a rack and includes mounting flanges to make attachment easy. The rails that
are provided for rack mounting will either be empty studs for insertion through slots in a rear extension bracket, or rail guides for
one-man installation to a front and rear bracket set. Depending upon the method provided, install your RACKMUX ac cording to
the instructions below.

Stud for mount to
extension bracket

Guide for one-man installation method

Extension Bracket Method

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.
